American Airlines Partners with Champagne Bollinger for Premium Lounge and In-Flight Service

For the first time, American Airlines is partnering with the esteemed Champagne brand, Bollinger, on both the ground and in the air. This family-owned Maison is known for its craftsmanship and rich tradition. This collaboration underscores American Airlines’ dedication to enhancing hospitality and tailoring its offerings and services to meet the needs of its customers.

“At American, our focus is on elevating the experience for our customers and we’re excited to announce this partnership with Champagne Bollinger,” said Heather Garboden, American’s Chief Customer Officer.

“A House as storied as Bollinger is the perfect fit for American on the eve of our centennial year.”

For nearly 200 years, Champagne Bollinger has been recognized for its savoir-faire and Pinot Noir–driven style. Its flagship, Special Cuvée, highlights this approach — refined, structured and distinctive. As an independent House in Champagne, Bollinger shares American’s approach to creating meaningful travel moments. Special Cuvée will debut in Flagship® lounges and on board Flagship flights.

“Special Cuvée represents the culmination of generations of craftsmanship and our unwavering dedication to quality. Sharing it in American’s premium lounges and Flagship cabins allows us to extend the Bollinger vision of hospitality and bring our spirit of excellence to an inspiring new setting.”

Available on the Ground

Guests visiting American Airlines’ Flagship lounges at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW), Miami International Airport (MIA), and O’Hare International Airport (ORD) will be greeted with a complimentary glass of Bollinger Special Cuvée Champagne. In the coming weeks, this offering will also be available in the Flagship lounges at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and Philadelphia International Airport (PHL). Additionally, guests can purchase the Champagne at Admirals Club locations.

Available in the Air

Next month, Champagne Bollinger will be offered in Flagship First and Flagship Business on flights to and from Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG), with plans to expand to additional international routes later.

The introduction of Champagne Bollinger Special Cuvée is part of American’s continuous investment in enhancing its premium travel experience. This initiative includes the development of new Flagship lounges planned for Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT) and Miami International Airport (MIA).
