American has been fairly hush on details for its new Flagship business class, but customers can expect to experience it at least starting in October.
One theme so far in airline third-quarter earnings reports is that blended business and leisure demand along with the travel that comes with hybrid work flexibility are offsetting the lagging recovery in managed business travel, and American Airlines is no exception.
American's plans, which include the Flagship Suite and new premium economy seats, would push AA well clear of United and further ahead of Delta in terms of widebody seat percentage.
American Airlines is to introduce new Flagship Suites and upgraded premium economy seats to its new long-haul aircraft. The US carrier will enhance its premium cabins on all new Airbus A321XLR and Boeing 787-9 aircraft being delivered from 2024.
American describes the new experience as a "private retreat in the sky" featuring privacy doors, chaise lounge seating options and more personal storage space.
