Over the summer, we saw American Airlines introduce its long awaited new Boeing 787-9Ps, featuring all-new cabins. This is an exciting development for the airline, as it represents a significantly upgraded passenger experience over what you’ll otherwise find on the carrier’s long haul flights.
Of course one common question is which routes actually feature these new planes. So in this post, I’d like to go over that — which planes have the new cabins, and which routes do they fly? With the switch having just happened from the IATA summer to winter schedule, there are also some updates to which routes have this aircraft.
These planes have a total of 51 business class seats, which are American’s new Flagship Suite business class product, with doors and upgraded tech. I’ve reviewed this new business class, and it’s an awesome experience. Eight of these seats are Flagship Suite Preferred seats, featuring even more space and amenities (it’s essentially a “business class plus” product).
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
