Airport experience
It is hard to beat the American Flagship Lounge in the airline’s hometown of Dallas at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW). The space is ginormous, running across the second floor in Terminal D. It is bright and spacious, and even with the volume of passengers passing through, guests will almost always be able to find a comfortable place to relax, work, read, or just prepare for the flight. The lounge is also home to the premium Flagship First dining, a luxury sit-down restaurant that is only accessible to passengers flying in the first class cabin to London. If that’s not you, you won’t miss it. There are still a number of self-service and full-service bars and a sizable hot and cold food section, plus a TV lounge, kids area, and more.
But I will tell you, no bar or restaurant will ever top a fully serviced shower with bathrobes, slippers, and luxury bath products. Thankfully, the Flagship lounge has an entire area dedicated to showers and nothing felt better on my return, after arriving in Dallas from Brisbane and waiting out my layover before connecting back to New York. Please note, Flagship Preferred ticket holders have the same priority check-in, security, and boarding privileges as standard business class passengers.
Why book?
The American Airlines Flagship Suite is an exceptionally sleek and comfortable way to fly long haul. The food and service are excellent but most importantly, the passenger’s wellbeing is clearly considered from start to finish. Just don’t forget to order your meal in advance!
