Asian Menus - Premium Class Pre-Order Options
When traveling in Premium
Class between the U.S. and Japan, you have the option to pre-order Japanese-style entrées prior to your flight. The new pre-order option is free and must be placed a minimum of 24 hours in advance of flight departure. To
place an order for a Japanese-style
entrée, call American Airlines reservations at 1-800-433-7300 in the U.S. and Canada, visit a local American Airlines ticket office or contact your travel agent.
Passengers who do not pre-select a Japanese-style meal will be offered a choice between Japanese-style and Western fusion dishes. View the menus to learn more about the meal options available to you.
Transatlantic Menu
Our new transatlantic menus offer a taste of home and a taste of adventure. In order to enhance your experience on our flights between the U.S. and Europe, new menus are offered in First Class as well as Business Class.
The new menus incorporate appetizers, salads, entrees and desserts that reflect distinctively European and American tastes. You can already find the new menus featuring menu items created from European ingredients and recipes on flights from Europe to the United States. U.S. flights bound for Europe feature typically American cuisine.
American Menu
When we develop new entrees, we turn to our Chefs' Conclave, a group of internationally acclaimed chefs, for inspiration. Chef Stephan Pyles, Chef Dean Fearing and Chef Nancy Brussat provide us with valuable direction, as do our flight attendants and customers.
Based on this feedback, we created new items for our Premium Class customers to savor inflight. Appetizers include citrus-marinated scallops, coppa ham with mozzarella, and shrimp marinated in mojito sauce served with pineapple and Boston watercress with zucchini, mushroom and yellow bell peppers. Entrees include cowboy steak with red chili dusted onions and corn-bean ragout, lamb shank with an ale tomato sauce and chicken Madeira. Seasonal vegetables such as grilled yellow squash, sautéed spinach, sun-dried tomatoes and artichoke bottoms with chive-whipped potatoes accompany the main dishes. Customers are encouraged to end their meal with a signature ice cream sundae or fruit and cheese.
European Menu
We invited European chefs to express their vision for an inflight culinary tour de force by submitting proposals for the new menu for U.S.-bound flights. From these imaginative offerings, we selected premier appetizers, salads, main courses and desserts with Continental flair.
Prior to the main meal, enjoy appetizers including apple soy marinated beef served with horseradish cream and thin potatoes, portobello mushroom carpaccio and smoked sesame salmon with sweet chili cucumber. Main courses include seared fillet of beef with porcini mushroom butter and bordelaise sauce, roasted chicken with eggplant confit with goat cheese and red pepper cappelletti pasta, to name a few. For dessert, customers may enjoy a signature ice cream sundae or a fruit and cheese plate.
Special Business Class Dining
American Airlines offers an exclusive Business Class meal service on our 2-Class Boeing 767 fleet. This service is offered on select flights to Europe as well as Santiago, Chile; Buenos Aires, Argentina; Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Some of the highlights featured in this service are: enhanced appetizer and salad courses, specially selected choice of entrees, and traditional ice cream sundaes with a selection of toppings. A Grand Marnier fruit salad with seasonal fruit sorbet is offered as a dessert alternative on select South American flights. Service is delivered by our friendly flight attendants, who offer a more personal touch to our Business Class passengers. We also continue to offer destination specific wine, amenity kits and inflight entertainment.
