American Airlines announced it would refresh its in-flight dining experience with new onboard food options for Main Cabin. 

Travelers can now enjoy a wider selection of snacks and meals on select flights, including a snack pack celebrating America’s 250th birthday that includes Gochujang beef jerky, Wheat Thins, green olives, a granola bar, Oreo cookies, cashews, and smoked Gouda cheese spread.

The patriotic snack box is available for $10 or 1,000 AAdvantage miles.

The airline is also offering ready-made snack options from nuts and popcorn brand NUTS ON CLARK for $11 or 1,100 miles and Angie’s BOOMCHICKAPOP for $5 or 500 miles.

American is boosting its elevated options with the addition of a refreshed fruit-and-cheese tray for $13 or 1,300 miles, featuring a more balanced selection of Tillamook cheeses, fruit and nuts.

Premium onboard food options, including a refreshed fruit-and-cheese tray and a new roasted turkey sandwich, are available this summer.

Starting June 1, Main Cabin customers on select flights within the United States, Canada, the Caribbean and Mexico will be able to enjoy refreshed onboard menu items, including a new turkey and Havarti sandwich for $14 or 1,400 miles.
