On Monday (January 12, 2026), American Airlines announced that starting February 1st, 2026, customers will be able to enjoy Athletic Brewing Company’s award‑winning Free Wave Hazy IPA on board, American’s first-ever inflight non‑alcoholic beer option. This expansion builds on the strong customer response to Athletic’s non‑alcoholic offerings already available in Flagship and Admirals Club lounges, bringing another popular brew from America’s largest dedicated non‑alcoholic brewer to the inflight experience.


American is also expanding their inflight beverage lineup with more customer favorites, including Q MARGARITA MIX, especially when paired with Socorro Tequila, which offers a refreshing cocktail experience that’s already popular with travelers.   Additionally, Q TONIC WATER and Q CLUB SODA will join the menu, along with Zing Zang Bloody Mary Mix. Starting in February, and in response to customer demand, American will also introduce Lime and Berry LaCroix Sparkling Water flavors for the first time, two of the brand’s most popular varieties.


Starting February 1st, 2026, American’s Main Cabin customers on select flights within the U.S., Canada, Caribbean and Mexico will also be able to enjoy some refreshed onboard menu items, including a chicken salad and Boursin cheese wrap, served with coleslaw and a lemon shortbread cookie for a sweet finish.  Customers can purchase this new offering on mainline routes for $13 or for 1,300 AAdvantage miles.  Additionally, American is introducing new Premium Economy and Main Cabin entree selections designed to elevate dining at 30,000 feet and cater to every taste. Customers on U.S. to international routes can look forward to flavorful choices such as barbecue chicken with grits, a beef fajita bowl, hoisin chicken, chimichurri chicken, vegetable yakiniku noodles, and honey mustard chicken.
