American Expands Flagship Dining to Business Class

American Airlines has rebranded its Flagship First Dining rooms as Flagship Dining, opening access to qualifying business-class travelers as the airline phases out international and premium transcontinental first class. In Las Vegas, new dining options include a Hello Kitty Cafe at Caesars Palace, with themed afternoon tea, and a second U.S. location of San Francisco’s R&G Lounge is planned for the resort. Atlantic City’s Dock’s Oyster House, operating since 1897, was named one of America’s top 40 bucket-list restaurants by LoveFood. A separate lounge ranking placed the Chase Sapphire Lounge at Las Vegas’ Harry Reid International Airport first among U.S. Priority Pass lounges, citing its amenities and strong member rating. A travel feature also spotlights hotel lobbies around the world for their distinctive architecture and design, including the theatrical, Victorian-inspired lobby of The Londoner Macao.
