As of 9/21:
Flights under 900 miles
Flights over 2,200 miles* / over 4.5 hours
**Some domestic and short-haul international flights will include a fruit and cheese plate instead of tray meal service and will also have snack basket service before landing.
cmd320 notation (unofficial): the 2,200mi + section for F and J is a bit misleading. Domestic flights within the continental US other than premium transcons (JFK-LAX/SFO, MIA-LAX on 77W) do not receive a full meal and instead only see a sandwich/fruit and cheese plate.

A) I have a medical condition
B) open a bag of M&Ms and snack on them one at a time for the flight
No need to start a whole big altercation or anything. At least IMO.

Oh, I wasn't arguing the merits of wearing/not wearing a mask...simply pointing out that FAs should not have the upper hand on the consumers paying their salary. No one should have any upper hand really, but if theyre going to punish pax for not following rules, then pax should punish FAs who have LONG not followed the rules (ahem PDBs!?)

Are MIA/LAX flights offering Casper bedding?
Has anyone flown business between MIA/LAX the past couple of weeks? I’m considering booking this route in early July and wondered if the Casper bedding and amenity kits are still being provided on this route.

Mix of all US premium cabin travelers....short, medium and premium transcons on AA.
Amazing FC service too from AA flight crews.

Thanks. I hope they bring back bedding in July on this route. At least the flagship menu/food is still being offered.

Are pre-order options still showing up online for flights with meal service? We have an upcoming JFK-LAX in J within the pre-order window, but no options appear online.

Hi there. We're temporarily discontinued the pre-ordering of meals on domestic flights, which is why the options didn't come up for you. Breakfast will be served on one tray instead of by courses. Thanks for your understanding and we'll see you soon.

Enjoy the flight! The AA crews have been nothing but fantastic and they’re so happy to have us back and being able to provide a somewhat normal service

No preorder for domestic meals currently and trust me I’ve been on a lot of domestic meal flights recently and was looking.
