Fort Worth, Texas – Branded duvets, mattress pads, dual-sided pillow and blankets are among the suite of enhanced amenities American Airlines is adding this summer.
Sleep products of various sorts will be available across all classes of service on select American Airlines flights. The goodies are part of a rotating collection of premium onboard amenities the airline is introducing to elevate the onboard experience.
Customers who book a Flagship Suite Preferred sear on new Boeing 787-9 and retrofitted 777-300 aircraft will be given expansive space, several storage areas and exclusive amenities like a Nest Bedding mattress pad, a throw blanket, a memory foam lumbar pillow, Nest Bedding pajamas and an exclusive amenity kit.
Customers in all cabins, including Premium Economy and Main Cabin, can access enhanced bedding, with cabin-specific options such as lumbar pillows, throw blankets, premium duvets and fleece blankets.
American also collaborated with the inflight textile company John Horsfall to develop bedding made with recycled materials from its Re-Thread collection.
Nearly all of the pillows, duvets and blankets created for American flights were made with recycled fibers, while filled bedding includes 100% recycled fill.
To reduce single-use plastic waste connected to the distribution of pillows and blankets, customers traveling in Flagship First, Flagship Business and Premium Economy will now receive their bedding in a reusable zipper product bag also made with recycled fibers. Using the bag will save 25 tons of plastic waste a year, the airline said.
