American Airlines Introduces New Regionalized Menus for US, Canadian Passengers

American Airlines passengers will find new food and beverage options that include both inflight and Admirals Club airport lounges across the U.S. and Canada.

New flavors taking flight include:

• The national rollout of all-American sliders and fries in flight, available to preorder on short-haul domestic flights following a successful test out of O’Hare International Airport (ORD) in Chicago
• Five new breakfast options, from a white cheddar and Monterey Jack omelet to a smothered veggie and cheese frittata
• Regionally inspired breakfast and all-day spreads in Admirals Club lounges, such as build-your-own tacos in Miami, an Argentina beef empanada in Dallas and edamame shrimp teriyaki in Nashville, Tennessee
• A fresh array of premium spirits in lounges, along with new mixers and non-alcoholic options

“As spring travel heats up, our customers are eager to see new food and drinks across our menus. Whereas warm comfort foods like soups rule the skies in the fall and winter, the spring season has people craving fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as tried-and-true summer dishes like our new sliders and fries,” said Heather Garboden, American’s Chief Customer Officer.

A wide variety of breakfast and all-day spreads are available at 12 airport lounges across the U.S. In addition, American’s culinary team has curated an assortment of dishes at select lounges in the U.S. and Canada.

For travelers on the go and those who want snacks in their carry-on, grab-and-go options include Darlington Oatmeal Bars, Realsy Peanut Butter Dates, Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Wildway Granola Snack Pack and Outrageously Good Caramel and Cheese Popcorn by Everybody Eats.

Beginning March 12, 2025, customers flying in premium cabins on domestic routes will have new breakfast items including:

• Biscuit and chicken sausage gravy with cheesy scrambled eggs
• White cheddar and Monterey Jack omelet with chicken sausage and seasoned wedge potatoes
• Smothered veggie and cheese frittata with tomato wedges and everything seasoned potatoes
• Swiss and veggie omelet with Italian chicken sausage and seasoned wedge potatoes

Customers in premium cabins can also preorder sliders and fries on short-haul domestic flights over 900 miles, recently described by passengers as “delicious” with the fries having “the perfect crunch.”

Spirit Offerings

One of the most popular destinations in the Admirals Club lounge is the bar, where bartenders served more than 420,000 glasses of complimentary sparkling wine to guests 21 and older in 2024.

Travelers this spring will be greeted by a fresh assortment of premium spirits and beverages, including Still G.I.N., Casamigos Añejo Tequila, Tequila Ocho Reposado, Kahlua, St-Germain Elderflower Liqueur and Horse Soldier Bourbon Whiskey.

Premium beverage offerings give customers the chance to enjoy their favorite cocktail or choose from a rotating mocktail offering, which features the Peachy Keen this March. Additional options include Carolan’s Irish Cream and Fever-Trees Espresso Martini Mix.

Beginning March 18, AAdvantage members can use their miles to purchase food and beverages during eligible flights, completing the option of purchasing a One-Day Admirals Club pass with AAdvantage miles (or $79).
