American Airlines announced:
American Airlines is expanding dining choices for premium customers with new light bites offered in First Class on select flights. Beginning this month, customers traveling in First Class on flights between Chicago O’Hare International Airport (ORD) and John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) or LaGuardia Airport (LGA) in New York will enjoy a selection of light morning and afternoon offerings designed for customers looking for fresh, flavorful meal choices.
Customers can choose from two light bite options, with menus rotating regularly throughout the year to provide customers with variety and choice.
“Our light bites menu provides an elevated experience on one of our most popular routes,” said Vice President of Culinary Strategy and Operations Raphael Girardoni. “We want to exceed the expectations of even our most discerning customers, and this new, more substantial menu offering is designed to do just that.”
