Economy Class Passengers Flying With American Airlines Can Now Pre-Order Their Meals
Frequent travelers of American Airlines may have heard about how the carrier was testing out a pre-ordering food system earlier this year. Well, we have good news! After much success, American Airlines has announced that their pre-ordering option will be here to stay. Available for only certain flights, keep reading to find out how you can take advantage of this new system.
We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life. While we continue to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, please take proper precautions or add them to your bucket list to see at a later date. If you know of a local business that could use some extra support during these times, please nominate them here: onlyinyourstate.com/nominate


Official as of August 1st, Economy Class passengers can log on to the American Airlines website or visit their app anytime between 30-days to 24-hours before their flight. Once you’re logged into your reservations, you’ll simply scroll and click on "Reserve A Meal" and then click "Place Your Order" to make the magic happen. Once you board your flight and it’s time for meal service, you’ll then pay for the meal with your credit card.
There are some catches to this whole new system though that you’ll want to be aware of. The pre-order option unfortunately won’t be available for every single American Airlines flight, but only for flights with "light meals," meaning menu items like their fruit and cheese plates, chicken and arugula wraps, and turkey sandwiches. The pre-order option will also only be available for flights longer than 3-hours that depart between 9:45 a.m. and 8 p.m.
