On American, you'll find exceptional service both on the ground and in the air. First- or Business-Class seating is available throughout American's fleet. Also available on most of the fleet are large overhead storage bins that allow carry-on luggage to be stored "wheels first," creating more overall storage space and making it easier to stow and remove bags.

For those who like to "stay connected" during their trip, powerports are located at each seat in the First- and Business-Class cabins and are conveniently placed throughout the Coach cabins on most of American's aircraft, so passengers can work en route, operate their own CD or DVD players, or even recharge their cell phones.

In addition to an extensive route network, spacious cabins with lots of amenities and great low fares, travelers on American also have the opportunity to earn and redeem AAdvantageВ® travel reward miles -- all of which combine to make travel on American an exceptional value.

Travelers can check schedules and fares and book flights by visiting American's Web site, AA.com. Bookings made on AA.com earn up to 1,000 AAdvantage bonus miles. For an additional $5 per ticket, travel arrangements can also be made by calling American's reservations number at 1-800-433-7300 (en espanol 1-800-633-3711) within the United States and Canada. Outside the United States and Canada, call the local reservations number. For an additional $10 per ticket, travel arrangements can be made at an American Airlines Travel Center or Airport Ticket Office.
