American Airlines’ new Main Select fares bring the kind of perks you typically need status to earn. These fares are fully refundable, offer free same-day flight changes, and allow passengers to choose from any available seat in the main cabin, including those that come with extra legroom and complimentary drinks.
Passengers also will be able to make their seat selections when booking their flights and get priority boarding and priority check-in.
The fare is aimed at business travelers and will only be available on certain routes like those passing through New York, Chicago, Washington, D.C., Los Angeles, Dallas-Fort Worth, and Boston. They’re set to go on sale beginning next year as American Airlines retires its Northeast shuttle services.
American Airlines is revamping the high-frequency travel experience to meet the needs of today’s business customers.
JetBlue and American Airlines launched a partnership earlier this year, paving the way for the airlines to sell one another’s flights and for passengers to receive elite benefits on both carriers. Beginning in December, American and JetBlue plan to offer lie-flat seat options on all transcontinental routes from the hubs.
