American Airlines passengers are getting new, exclusive access to the world of gourmet cuisine.
The Fort Worth-based carrier has launched a new partnership with Michelin Guide to bring culinary experiences to members of its AAdvantage loyalty program.
With the new collaboration, AAdvantage members will receive access to specially crafted culinary journeys and exclusive dining experiences with Michelin Guide.
“Food and beverage is an important driver of customer satisfaction, and we've made significant investments to elevate the experience through chef collaborations, premium dining offerings and award-winning beverage programs,” said American’s chief customer officer Heather Garboden.
“Through our partnership with the MICHELIN Guide, we're creating experiences that go beyond travel, giving AAdvantage® members access to extraordinary culinary moments that celebrate discovery, connection and the joy of exploring the world,” Garboden said.
The agreement also names American the official and exclusive restaurant partner for the U.S. MICHELIN Guide Ceremonies and events.
The first experiences are set to launch in early 2027. AAdvantage members will be able to redeem their miles for chef-led dining events “featuring some of the world's most celebrated culinary talent,” the airline says.
The dining events have been created with Michelin Guide and will feature collaborations with Michelin-Starred restaurants and “innovative” menus.
The first three events are scheduled for February 2027 in Los Angeles, April 2027 in Miami, and June 2027 in Chicago.
AAdvantage members will also have the chance to redeem miles for culinary journeys designed with Michelin Guide.
Each itinerary will be curated by Michelin’s experts and “provide privileged access to some of the world's most celebrated chefs, hotels and wineries through fully customized itineraries and one-of-a-kind experiences,” American says.
The airline’s first culinary journey is scheduled to take place in Porto, Portugal, in September 2027.
