AMERICAN AIRLINES, in a further bid to attract premium fare passengers, is upgrading its first and business class menus on transatlantic flights from 1 September introducing what it calls ”quintessentially American cuisine”. The airline has also announced that during 2006 the carrier”s long haul Boeing 767-300s will have improved business class cabins installed. It is also introducing its Flagship Suites to 20 more Boeing 777s first class cabins to provide a consistent ”treble seven” by 2007. In what some may consider a dig at Oneworld partner British Airways the Dallas-based airline says it has turned to Chefs Conclave, a group of internationally acclaimed chefs, for inspiration. Also new from American is a new Admirals Club at JFK which is located in Concourse C in the airline”s new ”state of the art” terminal. Opposite Gate 42 it is convenient to a variety of new shops and the main concession area. Complimentary snacks, juice, tea, coffee and soft drinks are offered.
