American Airlines Will Offer New Premium Suites On Long Haul Flights

If you’re looking for a luxury flight experience, American Airlines new premium suites will do the job.

Privacy doors and lie-flat seats with a chaise lounge option are among the features the airline will offer its passengers.

AA announced earlier this week that the Flagship Suite seats will be available on all Airbus A321XLR and Boeing 787-9 deliveries starting in 2024

“We believe our Flagship Suite product provides customers with what they desire most on a long-haul flight: privacy doors, lie-flat seating, direct aisle access, and more personal space,” the airline said in a statement.

The airline also said it will revamp the interiors on the airline’s Boeing 777-300ER and add those aircraft with Flagship Suite seats towards late 2024, CBS News reported.

There will also be additional premium economy seating on American’s long-haul aircraft.

The new premium economy seat design will double the amount of in-seat storage space and feature headrest wings for increased privacy and larger in-seat entertainment screens.

By 2026, the Airline said its premium seating on its long-haul fleet would increase to more than 45%. AA will continue to offer Flagship Business on existing Boeing 787-8, Boeing 787-9, and Boeing 777-200 aircraft that are part of its current fleet.

Its Flagship First product that is currently only offered on Boeing 777-300ER and Airbus A321T aircraft will become Flagship Suite seats after the aircraft are retrofitted, starting in late 2024 for the Boeing 777-300ER and at a future date for the Airbus A321T, American said.
