American Airlines will reopen its Flagship Dining room at Los Angeles International Airport in Terminal 4 next week, ending a closure that began in March 2020. The private dining room sits inside the Flagship Lounge, which remained operational during the shutdown.
The dining room, originally called Flagship First Dining when it opened in 2017, now carries the name Flagship Dining to reflect expanded access. Qualifying Flagship Business passengers can now use the space alongside Flagship First and Flagship Business Plus travelers. The expanded policy applies to qualifying longhaul international, premium transcontinental, and Flagship Hawaii itineraries, including eligible Flagship service to New York JFK and select Boston and Miami flights operated with lie-flat equipment.
American expanded this access policy at Dallas/Fort Worth and Miami on September 15, 2026. Ordinary domestic first class tickets do not qualify for the dining room, nor does Admirals Club access through frequent flyer status when traveling in economy.
The menu will feature a seasonal four-course offering paired with KHK Hillside Cabernet Sauvignon and K+M chocolate, the brand co-founded by Thomas Keller. American says dining is subject to availability, with an electronic waitlist when tables are full.
