September 14 - As American Airlines customers begin planning travel for the holiday season, seven more Admirals Club lounges are reopening throughout October.

As part of airline’s multifaceted Clean Commitment in response to the coronavirus (COVID-19), the experience in all of the reopened lounges has been upgraded to bring back many customer favorites in ways that protect the wellbeing of customers and team members.

 

Here are five things to know about the Admirals Club experience:

1. In October, seven additional clubs will reopen:           • Austin Bergstrom International Airport (AUS)           • Boston Logan International Airport (BOS)           • Denver International Airport (DEN)           • George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH)           • Nashville International Airport (BNA)           • Orlando International Airport (MCO)           • San Francisco International Airport (SFO)

2. Beginning October 1, complimentary customer favorites like avocado toast in the morning or guacamole with chips in the afternoon will return. These items will be prepared by lounge staff members wearing face coverings and gloves, behind protective acrylic screens at a safe social distance and served in disposable containers to reduce touchpoints between customers and team members. All menus and service hours will vary by location.

 

3. Also new in October, self-service choices like cheese cubes, hummus, hard-boiled eggs and fruit will be pre-packaged and individually portioned. Signature food-for-sale menu items are currently available all day and accessed using QR codes, menu offerings vary by location.

          • Glass shields at reception and service desks
          • Foot-operated door openers to enable touchless operation of restroom doors (where feasible)
          • Purell Hand Sanitizer stations for customers
