American Airlines has taken delivery of its first Airbus A321XLR.
This is the first introduction of the type by a U.S. carrier, and the inaugural flight will operate on December 28, departing New York/John F. Kennedy (JFK) for Los Angeles (LAX).
The cabin is configured in three classes, with 20 Flagship Suite seats, 12 Premium Economy seats, and 123 Main Cabin seats, for a total of 155.
Flagship Suite features a privacy door, larger storage areas, a wireless charging pad, a cocktail tray, and a reading light.
Premium Economy offers enhanced-privacy winged headrests, footrests, and wireless charging; in addition to hot onboard meals, an amenity kit with premium skincare products is provided.
As deliveries ramp up, the airline plans to expand service to additional routes, including international flights, in the first half of 2026.
