This new year, American Airlines is offering its customers an array of dietary-conscious dining options with plenty of ways to stay active and healthy on the go.
American Airlines has been offering meal options that cater to a number of diets and lifestyles a relief for the estimated 30% of Americans avoiding gluten and the 15% opting for dairy-free.
In addition to serving oat milk creamer and La Croix Lime sparkling water, American’s menu options include vegetarian, vegan, kosher, lactose-free, Muslim, Hindu, diabetic, and gluten-free meals — all of which are available along with the full onboard menu to pre-order before a flight to ensure dietary needs or cravings are met.
“Our health-forward dishes are made to taste great while also supporting fluid intake, aiding digestion, and being rich in nutrients,” said Kim Cisek, American’s Vice President of Customer Experience. “At American, we want our passengers to arrive at their final destinations feeling fulfilled and refreshed so they can enjoy whatever adventures lie ahead.”
For January 2025, the airline is welcoming its passengers to enjoy a refreshing mocktail in the Admirals Club, with options like
- Winter Citrus Sparkler: A refreshing blend of vibrant orange, grapefruit, and lime juices with fragrant rosemary to capture the essence of a crisp January day.
- Ginger Peach Nojito: A juicy cocktail of mint, lime juice, ginger syrup, peach pure, and club soda.
- Turmeric Grapefruit Mule: A zingy cocktail of ginger beer, turmeric syrup, grapefruit, and sugar rim.
- Sparkling Blood Orange Mocktail: A citrusy cocktail of blood orange juice, honey, vanilla, and club soda.
- Elderberry Sparkler: An immune-boosting cocktail of elderberry juice, ginger, lemon, and sparkling water.
Through its partnership with the FitOn fitness app, American’s free inflight entertainment provides travelers with a number of guided stretching videos and meditation practices designed to bring down heart rates with controlled breathing exercises.
“Sitting for an extended period of time, especially on longer flights, can lend itself to muscle stiffness and poor circulation — all of which can be prevented with a few simple stretches done from the comfort of your seat,” added Cisek. “On your next flight with American, take a few moments to release the tightness and tension in your neck, lower back, and hips. Doing so will make your journey that much more enjoyable.”
American is adding more routes to the network for adventure travel with new flight options for customers.
