Elevating the experience: American Airlines brings mainline comfort to regional flights

With the largest regional fleet of any U.S. carrier, American Airlines is redefining what travelers can expect from short-haul flights. American is investing in the details that matter most to customers by transforming the onboard experience on its regional aircraft to better match its mainline aircraft.

As part of a phased rollout beginning this fall, customers will start seeing refreshed regional aircraft interiors paired with fast Wi-Fi and power at every seat. These modern touches will ensure that every flight - no matter the distance - delivers the comfort, consistency and connectivity customers deserve.

Staying connected with fast, reliable Wi-Fi

American currently has high-speed gate-to-gate satellite Wi-Fi on nearly 300 regional aircraft, which will expand to the full dual-class regional fleet by early 2026 - more than any other airline - as it introduces complimentary Wi-Fi for AAdvantage^® members in January.

A fresh interior with seats designed for comfort

American plans to roll out the new regional interior by retrofitting all the CRJ700, CRJ900, E170 and E175 aircraft operated by its regional carriers. The aircraft retrofits are expected to be completed over the coming years.

Creating a consistent customer experience

American has streamlined its onboard snack offerings to create a more consistent experience across both mainline and regional flights. Customers in the premium cabin on regional flights can now enjoy a midday snack basket to complement the morning and evening snack baskets, ensuring uniform service throughout the network.

Additionally, AAdvantage^® members can now redeem AAdvantage^® miles for inflight purchases on all flights, making it even easier to enjoy onboard offerings while maximizing loyalty rewards.

Overhead bins that make sense for your carry-on bags

For customers who prefer to travel with a carry-on suitcase, American is working with Embraer on developing and designing larger overhead bins for our larger regional aircraft. The airline anticipates rolling out the aircraft with larger overhead bins in the coming years, creating more room for bags and making boarding smoother for our customers flying on regional aircraft.
