American Airlines has today announced that they will elevate the premium travel experience at Miami International Airport with a new Flagship lounge and expanded Admirals Club lounge.

On Wednesday (June 25, 2025), American Airlines announced plans to build a brand-new Flagship® lounge at Miami International Airport (MIA), and will also expand the footprint of their Admirals Club® lounge. When completed, the expansion and upgrades will nearly double the amount of lounge space for American Airlines’ guests transiting MIA. Additional construction details and timing will be announced at a later date.
In Wednesday’s announcement, American Airlines’ Chief Customer Officer, Heather Garboden, said,
“We’re excited to expand and elevate the premium experience for our Flagship® customers and also provide a more spacious and calming environment in our Admirals Club® lounges. Our strong partnership with airport leaders and county officials has allowed us to identify solutions that will make our customers’ experience even better, and we’re eager to work with them in building out this enhanced space.”
Also commenting on the carrier’s lounge expansion and upgrade in Miami, American Airlines’ Vice President of MIA operations, Juan Carlos Liscano, added,
“Building on more than three decades of investment in greater Miami, this is yet another milestone that solidifies Miami as a world-class destination and American as its hometown airline. Miami is our international gateway, where we serve more than 30 million customers annually — and growing — with more than 400 peak daily flights to 160+ destinations. The lounge experience plays a key role in enhancing that travel journey, offering a quiet and comfortable respite from the busy terminal, which is why we are so eager to give our Miami customers — including those connecting through our hub — new and improved spaces to relax, work and play.”
Currently, American offers three lounge spaces at MIA, including an Admirals Club® lounge at D15, as well as Flagship® and Admirals Club® lounges at D30. Looking ahead, American plans to convert its current Flagship® lounge, which opened in 2017, into an expanded Admirals Club® lounge, while building out a brand-new Flagship® lounge space. Miami International Airport is American’s international gateway, with an industry-leading network to Mexico, the Caribbean and Latin America. As the largest private employer in Miami-Dade County, American employs more than 14,500 team members at MIA.
