More choices mean more customizable experiences on American Airlines
Customers flying American Airlines continue to enjoy more choices to curate their travel experience thanks to new options onboard. From inflight entertainment and dining options to a rotating amenity kit program, there is something for everyone.
The entertainment doesn't stop on board
Customers traveling on American can discover new, free content on every flight as the airline adds 200 new titles on a monthly basis. New selections are inspired by current entertainment trends, customer feedback and viewing patterns, informing a thoughtfully curated collection that includes more than 1,500 movies, tv shows, audio and lifestyle offerings.
As an added option, customers can stream video content from their favorite streaming platforms right to their personal devices once connected to Wi-Fi.
American's exclusive partnerships with Apple, Audible, Center Stage, FitOn and Hey Bear Sensory give customers a chance to watch hundreds of movies and TV shows, listen to hours of audio and explore new skills - all for free while in flight.
But the fun doesn't need to stop once customers are back on the ground. Exclusive offers from Apple Music, Apple TV+ and Audible are also available for customers, allowing them to continue to watch and listen to their favorite audiobooks when they aren't in the air.
Customers can find specially curated content around heritage months, seasons or pop culture topics in monthly updated channels. In addition to its annual Halloween channel, American launched new special interest channels like the Hispanic Heritage Month channel that celebrates and highlights the Hispanic community and the True Crime channel for mystery and crime afficionados.
Customers who like the yearlong thrills and chills can get their fix by checking out the Paramount Scares channel.
New and refreshing flavors will take flight

Customers traveling in premium cabins on transcontinental flights, as well as flights from Dallas Fort Worth International Airport to both Daniel K.

The new meals feature seasonal flavors that create fresh new choices for all customers to enjoy during their flight.
Did you know customers with dietary restrictions and needs can pre-order specialty meals? Customers across all cabins on eligible flights can choose from vegan, vegetarian, kosher, Muslim, Hindu, diabetic and gluten-free meals.
Fall brings inflight favorites back
In September, American launched its limited edition Stand Up To Cancer specialty kit to highlight the longstanding campaign.
