The newest American Airlines planes that look like their new business class concept are prepared for takeoff next month.
Earlier this week, Fort Worth headquarters received two new Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners who will launch their next-generation flagship suites, along with an general reimaginated on-board aesthetic.
The first of the new American Dreamliners will enter the service on June 5, with a brief domestic round trip followed by an inaugural international service from the O’Hare International Airport (Ord) in Chicago to the Heathrow airport in London (LHR).
Then, for the next four to five months, four additional long -distance routes will obtain the new concept of suite, including the service from the Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) to Heathrow and Zurich, and the non -stop route from American to Brisbane, Australia, from this fall.
We will enter the flight numbers and the exact details of the route below, so that you know what flights book.
Years in manufacturing
This debut marks a great step forward for the American Premium cabin, almost three years after the airline showed for the first time the representations of the new commercial seats.
For the first time, American can boast of a true suite concept with sliding privacy doors that have become a very popular characteristic in other global airlines, including some American competition products, such as Delta One Suites by Delta Air Lines and the most recent mint product in Jetblue.
The new flagship suites of American (and the entire cabin, really) will also be remarkably different from the cabins aboard any of the US planes that fly today.
As shown in the photos, the carrier launched on Friday, the new carbon and gray hares seats are equipped with brown leather heading: aesthetic aesthetic that will complement the bells and whistles of the new products, such as a new chaise lounge seat option, wireless load, larger storage areas, along with the privacy doors.

There will also be further Of these business class seats in the new American Dreamliners, 51 of them, in total, compared to the 30 that are in their current 787-9. Organized in a 1-2-1 configuration with the universal direct corridor access, this more great taste configuration is the airline internally, referring to this version of its 787-9 the “787-9p”-“P” for Premium, that is, it is, that is,
You will find a similar color scheme in the Economy Premium cabin, where Americans will also grow their seat counting with 30 spacious reclinators that look winged headrest, a cocktail tray, an elegant load support of personal devices and USB-C ports.

Now, obviously we cannot give it a complete meaning of how the cabin and the new seats are made up of competiting products until we have the opportunity to try it for ourselves.
But, without a doubt, it should be a great impulse in American hopes to grow and improve its premium offers.
“All aspects of our new 787-9 are designed to feel premium in nature,” said American customer director Heather Garboden on a statement on Friday. “Whether it is flying for business or pleasure, having the opportunity to explore other parts of the world should be an exciting and memorable experience that begins at the time its flight reserves.”
What flights will the American Airlines flagship suites have?
The inaugural flight for the new American flagship suites will technically be a national short -journey flight on June 5, from Chicago to Los Angeles International Airport (Lax). That is AA Flight 2012, scheduled to start at 9:12 am and reach Lax at 11:33 am, all local time.
That afternoon. The plane will return to O’Hare before its first long distance route: from Ord to Heathrow, operating as AA Flight 98.
As shown in the American reserve channels, he leaves Chicago at 10:30 pm and lands in London the next day at 12:15 PM All Times.
Economy’s reditions begin at 29,000 miles from Aadvantage, with a premium economy in 49,000. At the time of this letter, I would have to redeem 400,000 miles to hook an executive class seat.
However, a enormous Warning here: American says that the seats on the new plane (with its new design) technically go on sale on Monday. At this time, the seat map for this flight does not reflect the new highest and highest cabin configuration, including a 70% increase in executive class capacity on the Dreamliner currently on the route.
So, we will have to see what happens with those reimbursement rates in the next few days.
Other routes soon
In the course of 2025, American will welcome the additional Dreamliners to their fleet and debut the plane on more long distance routes, which include:
- PHL-LHR-SITUEZA on August 6
- PHL to Zurich airport (ZHR) – Starts on September 3
- Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) to Brisbane Airport (BNE) in Australia – begins on October 26
In total, the carrier hopes to receive a total of 30 of these 787-9 with premium weights between now and 2029.
And these Dreamliners are not the only jets that will see the new concept of flagship suite.
American plans to debut the suites in their Airbus Airbus A321xlrs with transatlantic capacity, although it plans to start those jets (every time you receive them) on premium transcontinental routes currently operated by its A321ts of four cabins.
The carrier also plans to modernize his Boeing 777-300ERS, abandoning the first flagship in favor of a greater number of lies seats.

Reserve the new American suites with points miles
While redeeming Aadvantage Miles is the most conventional way to qualify a prize seat in American, there are a variety of partners who can choose to book.
We suggest verifying the awards space of partners in the loyalty programs of the American carriers through OneWorld Alliance, from Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan to Cathay Asia Miles and the variety of international airlines that use avios for a prize currency, from British respiratory tract to Iberia, Qatar, Aer Lingus and Finnair.
TPG employees have made a firm use of reimbursements of reserved partners through Alaska in recent times, thanks to their socio -award table that can introduce bargains compared to what you will find through the AADVANTAGE program of a more dynamic price.
At least for now, you can transfer the American express membership rewards to Hawaiianmiles in a 1: 1 relationship, then change those miles to Alaska, but, as I wrote last week, that agreement may not be present for much longer.
