We're creating a consistent experience when traveling in First Class on American and US Airways. Effective September 1, 2014, we will be making changes to our First Class meal service on mainline flights within the U.S., Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean. You'll also notice that we will now offer unique extras on meal flights that are distinctly American like our popular warm mixed nuts, warm cookies, and premium desserts. Here's more on what's changing:
In April, we began serving full meals on US Airways-mainline flights more than approximately 2 hours and 45 minutes between 5:00 a.m. ‑ 8:00 p.m. Beginning September 1, you will see a consistent First Class meal offering when traveling on American and US Airways.
We're improving our product offerings and preserving the signature elements that have set American Airlines meal service apart over the years. American will also maintain its existing First Class and Business Class meal service aboard our three‑class A321 Transcontinental aircraft ‑ flying on all routes between John F. Kennedy airport to Los Angeles and San Francisco.
Later this year, we'll introduce new meals and amenity kits on international flights to offer a seamless travel experience across our combined network.
Just saw a number of airlines are dropping meal service on flights of 2 hours or less in First Class, even during meal times. Why don't they just charge more for the up front seats instead of making First Class more like tourist?
