The American Airlines MICHELIN Guide partnership will give AAdvantage members more ways to use their rewards. Instead of using miles primarily for flights and upgrades, members will also have the option to spend them on unique food experiences.<\/span><\/p>\n

The airline has been working to improve its food and drink services for some time. It has introduced chef collaborations, premium meals, and award-winning beverage programs to improve the travel experience. It now wants to offer these food experiences beyond its inflight services, too.<\/span><\/p>\n

Under the new deal, American Airlines will also be the official and exclusive restaurant partner for U.S. MICHELIN Guide Ceremonies.<\/span><\/p>\n

AAdvantage Members Can Use Miles for Exclusive Culinary Journeys<\/b><\/h3>\n

American Airlines and the MICHELIN Guide are also planning exclusive culinary journeys for members who enjoy food-focused travel. MICHELIN Guide experts will design these itineraries using insights from the guide’s inspectors. These experiences may provide privileged access to renowned chefs, hotels, and wineries. Members may also get a chance to connect with celebrated chefs and experience their culinary creations.<\/span><\/p>\n

The first culinary journey is planned for Porto, Portugal, in September 2027. It will coincide with American Airlines’ planned launch of seasonal flights to the Portuguese city from Philadelphia in summer 2027, subject to government approval.<\/span><\/p>\n
