American Airlines is rolling out mattress pads to all international Flagship branded business class flights and flights to Hawaii starting late March 2026, expanding on the summer 2025 rollout

## Summary

American Airlines is expanding its premium amenity program in Flagship Business Class. Starting late March 2026, the airline will roll out mattress pads on all international Flagship branded business class flights as well as Flagship branded business class flights to Hawaii. This expansion follows a summer 2025 rollout where American introduced pajamas and mattress pads (from Nest) on select ultra-long-haul flights to East Asia, the Middle East, India, Australia, and New Zealand. Eligible routes for the full amenity set included flights to Auckland, Brisbane, Delhi, Doha, Seoul Incheon, Shanghai, Sydney, Tokyo Haneda, and Tokyo Narita, operated out of Dallas, Los Angeles, New York, and Philadelphia. The new mattress pad rollout applies regardless of whether the aircraft features new or old business class seats. These amenities are offered in addition to slippers, dual-sided pillows, and duvets. This move reverses a previous cut in spring 2024 and aims to improve the travel experience based on customer feedback
