American Airlines is revising its short haul beverage service on flights less than 250 miles effective June 1.

Per an internal memo:


The following flights were previously exempt from this, and featured a full service, but will now no longer:

  • DFW-AUS
  • DFW-HOU
  • DFW-IAH
  • DFW-OKC
  • DFW-SAT
  • DFW-TUL
  • JFK-BOS
  • JFK-DCA
  • LAX-LAS

Interestingly, DCA-BOS, BOS-LGA, DCA-LGA Shuttle flights are exempt. These are premium markets which are understandable. 


Flights under 250 miles will be catered with bottles of water and juice, in addition to a small cart with full options for requests. 

I imagine Executive Platinum members will still be able to request bar items for free, as well as First Class customers still being offered a drink of choice.

SELECT transforms any existing credit or debit card into a black card that unlocks VIP perks, pricing, and experiences at thousands of premier destinations around the world.

  1. While I realize some American Eagle operating carriers are not owned by AA, both American Eagle and American Airlines fly TUL-DFW. So now if one flies mainline on TUL-DFW they will experience beverage reductions, but if they fly TUL-DFW on American Eagle, they’ll still get full beverage service?

    Gotta love the logic in this.
