American Airlines kicks off new year with refreshed menu and beverage options onboard
American Airlines is updating its onboard beverage and menu options from February 1
American Airlines is starting the new year with updates from new beverage options to refreshed menus.
Beginning February 1, passengers can enjoy Athletic Brewing Company’s award‑winning Free Wave Hazy IPA on board — American’s first inflight non‑alcoholic beer option. This expansion builds on the strong passenger response to Athletic’s non‑alcoholic offerings already available in Flagship® and Admirals Club® lounges, bringing another popular brew from America’s largest dedicated non‑alcoholic brewer to the inflight experience.
In addition to the new non‑alcoholic option, American is expanding its inflight beverage lineup with even more passenger‑favorite choices. Q MARGARITA MIX — especially when paired with Socorro Tequila — offers a bright, refreshing cocktail experience that’s already popular with travelers. Q TONIC WATER and Q CLUB SODA will join the menu in addition to the brand’s margarita mix, along with Zing Zang Bloody Mary Mix. Starting in February, and in response to demand, American will introduce two LaCroix Sparkling Water flavors for the first time — Lime and Berry, two of the brand’s most popular varieties.
New year, new meals on board
Starting February 1, Main Cabin travelers on select flights within the U.S., Canada, Caribbean and Mexico will be able to enjoy some refreshed onboard menu items, including a chicken salad and Boursin cheese wrap, served with coleslaw and a lemon shortbread cookie for a sweet finish. Passengers can purchase this new offering on mainline routes for US$13 or for 1,300 AAdvantage® miles.
American is also introducing new Premium Economy and Main Cabin entree selections designed to elevate dining at 30,000 feet and cater to every taste. Passengers on U.S. to international routes can look forward to flavorful choices such as:
- Barbecue chicken with grits
- Beef fajita bowl
- Hoisin chicken
- Chimichurri chicken
- Vegetable yakiniku noodles
- Honey mustard chicken
Refreshed options for passengers traveling from the U.S. to destinations in China, Japan and Korea in Premium Economy and Main Cabin include:
- Orange chicken
- Korean barbecue noodles with shiitake mushrooms
- Beef bibimbap
- Beef noodles
- Egg fried rice
- Scrambled egg, tomato compote, spinach and cheese

Whether customers are sipping Athletic Brewing’s great-tasting Free Wave Hazy IPA, mixing up a margarita or enjoying a fresh new meal, American aims to deliver an elevated inflight experience that blends local flair and culinary creativity.
