American Airlines is fundamentally changing the way it does business at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW), the airline’s largest hub, and the airline’s customers will soon benefit from those changes in a meaningful way. DFW has an outsized impact on the rest of the airline’s operation and on the journeys of the nearly 700,000 customers the airline serves every day across its global network. More customers and more bags travel and connect through DFW every day than any other airport in American’s network — with more than 30% of all daily connecting customers and daily connecting checked bags traveling through the airline’s hometown airport. When DFW runs well, American runs well. That impact demands continued focus and investment, and both are already well underway.

American Airlines continues to enhance the premium customer experience and invest in the Charlotte community with its latest plans to build a Flagship® lounge and expand its Admirals Club® lounge footprint at Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT). This investment will significantly increase the lounge space for American customers traveling through CLT and marks the long-awaited arrival of the Flagship® lounge experience at CLT. Additional construction details and timing will be shared at a later date.

Technology is making travel on American Airlines easier and more reliable this summer. From planning a trip to getting to your destination, technology is at the center of customers’ travel experiences. “User-friendly technology is part of our daily life and should extend into what our customers experience when they travel on American,” said Ganesh Jayaram, American’s Chief Digital and Information Officer. “With our renewed focus on the customer experience, we’ve ramped up our digital capabilities throughout the travel journey so our customers can focus on what matters most: getting to their destination.”

American Airlines is elevating the inflight experience with a bold, flavorful move — tequila is officially taking to the skies. Customers asked, and American answered. Starting June 1, the airline will begin offering tequila on select flights as an inflight alcoholic beverage option for eligible customers. For this milestone moment, American knew it wanted to select a brand the airline can connect with beyond the glass, which is why the airline selected Dallas-Fort Worth’s own award-winning Socorro Tequila.
