Yesterday, American Airlines’ very first Airbus A321XLR landed in the United States, after being delivered from Hamburg. Today, the airline has put its first A321XLR flight on sale…
By around March 2026, we can expect American to start flying the A321XLR across the Atlantic as well, given that the airline is opening up a pilot base for this exact purpose.
In other words, with the transition from the A321T to the A321XLR, American will be losing 10 first class seats, retaining 20 business class seats, adding 12 premium economy seats, and adding 51 economy seats.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
