American Offering Pre-order Meal Service to Domestic Premium Class Passengers

Last year American began testing pre-order meal service on flights between JFK and LAX. I guess it’s gone well because now they’re making it available on more routes.  From the press release:

American Airlines today announced its entrée reservations program, becoming the first domestic airline to offer premium class customers the opportunity to review menu options and pre-select their desired meal prior to their flight’s departure.

The program will give premium customers the option to pre-order their meal and is currently offered on the following routes:

· John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) and Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)
· Dallas/ Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) and New York LaGuardia Airport (LGA)

On Nov. 15, the entrée reservations program will also be available on all flights between:

• New York (JFK) and San Francisco International Airport (SFO),
• Chicago O’Hare (ORD) and Los Angeles (LAX);
• Chicago O’Hare (ORD) and New York LaGuardia (LGA);
• Dallas/Ft. Worth (DFW) and Los Angeles (LAX).

According to the press release, American plans to expand the program to all domestic flights by the first quarter of 2013 and to all international flights by the second quarter of 2013.

It’s easy to pre-order your meal, all you have to do is access your reservation online at least 24 hours before your flight an place your order.

I can’t wait to give it a try on my next flight to LGA, especially now that American just updated their domestic menu!
