On Wednesday (July 2, 2025), American Airlines announced that after entering service this summer, their newly designed Boeing 787-9 Flagship Suite® seats will be available on more routes for winter 2025/26. Travelers on select flights to London (LHR), Buenos Aires, Argentina (EZE), Auckland, New Zealand (AKL), and Brisbane, Australia (BNE) will be upgraded to offer the Flagship Suite experience.  Customers will be able to book this premium seating option on the American Airlines app or website starting July 7, 2025.


In Wednesday’s announcement, American Airlines’ SVP – Network and Schedule Planning, Brian Znotins, said,


“At American, we know our customers are counting down the days to their next vacation, and we’re excited to expand our newly debuted Flagship Suite® seats to new long-haul destinations.  In addition to giving customers more premium seat offerings in key markets, we are also expanding this product to some of our longest routes, giving travelers an elevated experience when traveling to exciting destinations.”

American is the only carrier to operate these routes, and travelers from more than 230 destinations around the world will be able to fly through DFW to BNE and AKL.
