American Airlines has today announced a first-time partnership with a prestige Champagne brand, both on the ground and onboard, with Champagne Bollinger.

On Tuesday (September 23, 2025), American Airlines announced a new partnership with Champagne Bollinger, the iconic family-owned Maison recognized globally for their winemaking excellence and craftsmanship. This collaboration underscores the carrier’s dedication to premium hospitality, thoughtful curation and world-class service. As one of the last great independent Houses in Champagne, the Maison shares American’s commitment to creating meaningful moments for travelers, making them a natural partner as Special Cuvée debuts in Flagship® lounges and onboard Flagship® flights.
In Tuesday’s announcement, American’s Chief Customer Officer, Heather Garboden, said,
“At American, our focus is on elevating the experience for our customers and we’re excited to announce this partnership with Champagne Bollinger. A House as storied as Bollinger is the perfect fit for American on the eve of our centennial year.”
Also commenting on the new partnership, Champagne Bollinger’s Managing Director, Charles-Armand de Belenet, said,
“We are proud to introduce Champagne Bollinger to American’s discerning travelers. Special Cuvée represents the culmination of generations of craftsmanship and our unwavering dedication to quality. Sharing it in American’s premium lounges and Flagship® cabins allows us to extend the Bollinger vision of hospitality and bring our spirit of excellence to an inspiring new setting.”
For almost 200 years, Champagne Bollinger has been celebrated for their uncompromising savoir-faire and time-honored traditions, with Pinot Noir at the heart of their style. Special Cuvée, the House’s flagship, highlights this distinctive character, with remarkable depth and elegance.
Starting today, Flagship® lounge guests will be greeted with a glass of Champagne Bollinger Special Cuvée at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW), Miami International Airport (MIA) and O’Hare International Airport (ORD). In the coming weeks, Champagne Bollinger will also be poured at Flagship® lounges at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) and will be available for purchase at Admirals Club® locations across the system.
From October 2025, Champagne Bollinger will be served exclusively in Flagship® First and Flagship® Business on all flights to and from Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG), followed by a broader rollout across international Flagship® flights in the months ahead.
