A Fresh Look at Dining Onboard: AA Updates Main Cabin Menu

Having someone take care of you wouldn't be the worst thing. American Airlines heeded customers’ wishes to have a lighter and more healthy menu onboard, and the result didn’t take long.

AA has partnered with the fast-casual restaurant group Zoës Kitchen to introduce a brand-new menu that will be available for customers flying in the main cabin. The menu will include options unique to AA as well as signature dishes, such as hummus served with pita bread and veggies.

Starting December 1, 2018, on most domestic flights lasting for more than three hours, you can purchase the following dishes from the updated menu:

   Breakfast Sandwich: Turkey bacon, egg slices, and tomato topped with baby arugula on a waffle brioche bun with Calabrian pepper aioli

   Continental Breakfast Box: Belgian waffle, hazelnut spread, and fresh berries

 The Grüben: Zoë’s signature sandwich with sliced turkey, Manchego cheese, crunchy Mediterranean slaw, and feta spread layered on marble wheat bread, served with a Zoë’s chocolate chip cookie

 Chicken Wrap: Grilled chicken wrap with mozzarella, roasted tomatoes, arugula, and artichokes, served with a Zoë’s chocolate chip cookie

 Hummus Duo: Zoë’s signature hummus duo, including their classic flavor topped with Kalamata olives and basil pesto hummus, served with pita bread, cucumber, and carrot.

Prices for the dishes are expected to be following:

  • Breakfast Sandwich: $8.79
  • Continental Breakfast Box: $8.99
  • The Grüben: $10.99
  • Chicken Wrap: $10.99
  • Hummus Duo: $9.99

Note that along with the new menu items, the carrier will continue to offer its traditional fare: the signature fruit and cheese plate and breakfast platter.
