American Airlines shared news today that it’s adding some new tastes at 35,000 feet. This includes updated snacks, LaCroix Limoncello, and a new tea service across cabins on select flights.
The Dallas-based carrier will begin serving the Tostitos Snack Box (it includes Tostitos Bite Sized Rounds and Tostitos Chunky Salsa for $9 or 9,000 miles) as well as LaCroix Limoncello across cabins.
Select flights from London Heathrow Airport (LHR) and Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) will soon see a new afternoon tea experience. This test will run across all cabins with the classic European standard reimagined for the sky with foods like finger sandwiches, scones, crème, and jelly.
There has been lots of tea time action in the skies lately as British Airways recently changed the brand of tea it’s serving after being tied to Twinings since December 2011.
In addition to the food and beverage updates, American snuck into the press release that passengers can now enjoy uninterrupted inflight entertainment on all US inbound Flagship® service flights, Hawaii Flagship® service flights, and transcontinental Flagship® service flights. First and Business Class passengers can leave the Bang & Olufsen headsets at their seats when they deplane. This is great news as flight attendants used to collect them at least 30 minutes prior to landing.
Anthony’s Take: American is definitely trying to improve its passenger experience, but it has a long way to go to catch up with Delta and United.

Looks like AA is keeping their word on becoming more premium. Lots of headlines in the last couple of months with lots of changes to improve the passenger experience. leaving the headsets with pax, new cabins, teas service, rebuilding ORD, new terminal at DFW, still the best frequent flyer program for redemption
Catch up to DL and UA? They have been exceeded by Allegiant on this particular item.
Allegiant sells a larger bag of Tostitos with a choice of salsa or cheese dip for $1 less on flights as short as 45 minutes.
