Summer travel just got sweeter with the much-anticipated debut of American’s premium Flagship Suite® seats aboard the airline’s newest Boeing 787-9 aircraft. Starting Monday, customers can purchase tickets at aa.com and via American’s mobile app for the inaugural flight June 5 from Chicago O’Hare (ORD) to Los Angeles (LAX) for Flight 2012, which will then return to ORD for its inaugural Flagship Suite® service to London Heathrow (LHR) as Flight 98.

Later this summer, American will also operate the new 787-9 from Philadelphia (PHL) to LHR and Zurich (ZRH). Flagship Suite® service will go down under this fall with service from Dallas Fort Worth (DFW) to Brisbane, Australia (BNE).

American welcomed two new 787-9 planes to Dallas-Fort Worth on Tuesday and anticipates a total of 30 new aircraft will join the fleet family between now and 2029. The airline expects to grow its lie-flat and Premium Economy seating by 50% by the end of the decade.

Primarily utilized for long-haul international flights, customers traveling on American’s 787-9 will delight in the 51 Flagship Suite® seats at the front of the aircraft, featuring privacy doors, more personal storage space with a wireless charging pad and a one-of-a-kind chaise lounge seating option with an adjustable headrest pillow.

As part of the Flagship Suite® service, customers also receive Priority check-in, security, boarding and baggage handling, as well as access to American’s Flagship® lounge with complimentary regionally inspired dishes and signature cocktails. Inflight Flagship Suite® service offers a multicourse meal curated to pair with award-winning wines, premium amenity kits containing an array of luxury skincare items and a comfy duvet blanket accompanied with a refreshing dual-sided pillow with cool touch fabric on one side and traditional fabric on the other.

Looking ahead, American’s Flagship Suite® seats will be available on all newly delivered 787-9 aircraft, as well as new Airbus A321XLR aircraft and the airline’s retrofitted Boeing 777-300ER.
