American Airlines offers premium economy seating, a distinct class featuring enhanced legroom, improved food and beverage options, and dedicated amenities, on its Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners and select Boeing 777 aircraft.
Until now, it has not sold premium economy as a separate cabin on transcontinental flights. Instead, AAdvantage elites and passengers willing to pay an upcharge could choose these seats at the time of booking. Onboard service was no different than in economy class.
American Airlines will soon begin selling Premium Economy as a separate cabin on LAX-JFK routes, for flights on or after October 5, 2025, a date that makes sense as widebody aircraft become available with the suspension of summer European routes.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on Live and Let's Fly.
