American Airlines In-Flight Features and Amenities

American Airlines offers travelers a wide array of in flight features and amenities. While some of these amenities may seem standard when it comes to traditional air travel, others are unique to American Airlines.

American Airlines In Flight Features

Cabin comfort is a main concern of the employees at American Airlines. As a result, all cabins come complete with seats that have their own customized cushions. Each one of these cushions is designed for maximum passenger comfort. In addition, travelers can now enjoy large and extended overhead bins, so you'll have no problem storing your carry-on items.

If you're flying First Class, American Airlines will make sure that all of your in flight features are first rate. Some in flight features that are specific to First Class include:

  • Premium Cabin Duvet Amenity Kit
  • Swivel Seat
  • Electronic Adjustable Seats
  • Electronic Recline
  • Personal Reading Lights

In addition to these many amenities, first class travelers will also enjoy individual powerport connections for laptops, as well as individual satellite telephones. While most of these features come standard on all American Airlines first class flights, some of these are specific to Flagship Suite First Class. Flagship Suite First Class is only available on Boeing 777 aircrafts, and takes in flight features to a whole new level. The seats that are found in Flagship Suite First Class are geared toward passengers who like to sleep on flights. As a result, the seats fully recline, as do the armrests, allowing for extra space and maximum comfort.

American Airlines In Flight Entertainment

On domestic flights that travel from coast to coast, American Airlines now offers travelers their very own in flight entertainment options. In flight entertainment used to come from TVs fastened to the top of storage bins, but travelers are now able to enjoy TV and movie options from the comfort of their own seat. The premium media player is offered in both business and first class, and allows travelers to choose from more than 28 feature films, tons of CDs, games and so much more. The personal media player is activated by a touch screen which makes it extremely user friendly. 

If you grow tired of visual entertainment, American Airlines offers travelers a variety of popular and unique magazines to choose from. Some titles include:

  • American Way
  • Celebrated Living
  • Latitudes

Each one of these magazines offers travelers a unique way to learn about the destinations they are traveling to. In addition to magazines, there are TV episodes and radio channels for you to enjoy. As a bonus, all American Airlines flights offer complimentary headsets to travelers. These will come in handy if you happen to forget your headset at home or if you don't own your own headset.

If you are looking for a meal during your flight, chances are you are going to have to pay for it. Most meals are no longer free on board American Airlines flights, so it's in your best interest to bring your own snacks and food on board.
