American Airlines has joined the trend of offering trading cards, though the airline is only doing this in celebration of its 100th birthday. While I first covered this back when the airline made the announcement, there’s now an update, as these should be available on a pretty widespread basis.
The trading cards showcase four fleet types currently flown by American — the A321neo, the 737-800, the 777-300ER, and the 787-9P. While minor, I find it noteworthy how the 737-800 is being featured, and not the 737 MAX 8, which is the newer generation aircraft. Meanwhile for Airbus equivalents, the A321neo is featured, and not the A321. I guess it’s the curse of the 737 MAX?
Every trading card includes an image of the aircraft, aircraft specifications, diagrams, and facts about the aircraft. The cards also include specific aircraft registrations that provide more context and historical facts about past and present aircraft.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
