American Airlines is bringing fresh food back to first class on flights between New York and Chicago starting this month. The carrier last offered fresh food on these routes in 2019.
First class passengers can now choose between two breakfast options: prosciutto and melon or apple cinnamon chia pudding. For lunch and dinner, they can select a Thai noodle salad or mezze plate.
Currently, first class passengers on these flights receive smaller, packaged snacks. American said the change is part of its effort to appeal to higher-spending customers. The airline has been adding premium offerings in recent years, including new cabins, lounges, and plans for seatback screens on its narrow-body fleets.
