American Airlines announced it will begin offering Premium Economy seating on New York-Los Angeles flights beginning in October. The service will be available on select flights between New York’s John F. Kennedy Airport and Los Angeles International Airport starting Oct. 5.
Heather Garboden, chief customer officer, said, “With the domestic debut of Premium Economy, customers will enjoy a more comfortable seat, enhanced amenities and elevated dining with hot entree choices when traveling coast-to-coast.”
Customers who choose Premium Economy on American’s transcontinental route receive priority check-in, security and boarding. Once on board, customers will find a personal amenity kit with premium skincare products and travel essentials. During the flight, customers are provided with wider seats with more legroom and a lumbar pillow and crepe weave blanket.
As part of the inflight service, customers get complimentary drinks and a hot meal with salad and dessert served on chinaware. They can charge electronic devices with in-seat power and watch on-demand entertainment on larger monitors with noise-reducing headphones.
