American Airlines is scheduled to open a new Flagship Lounge in Philadelphia this coming summer. The airline has now revealed some exciting details about the culinary experience that’s to be expected in these lounges.
This Flagship Lounge will be located in Terminal A-West and feature 21,000 square feet of space. Philly travelers will have a lot ot look forward to when this opens in the summer.
American says that Flagship Lounge visitors will be welcomed with a glass of champagne and will enjoy a “refined culinary experience that celebrates both innovation and local character.”
Some options available throughout the day include:
- Salted caramel budino, whipped ricotta and blistered tomato toast and Maryland-style crab soup
- Grab-and-go snacks like Dot’s Homestyle Pretzels and Alter Eco Sea Salt Truffles
- A Reading Terminal-inspired Candy Bar with saltwater taffy, butterscotch candies, peppermint puffs and more
Visitors can also enjoy the “action station” that offers customizable dining options. Those include:
- A morning omelet bar with add-ons including local Amish cheddar and Kennet Square cremini mushrooms
- A build-your-own roast pork sandwich, featuring slow-roasted pork, provolone and broccoli rabe
- An evening Boardwalk Water Ice and Gelati bar in nostalgic flavors like Very Cherry, Rainbow Jimmies and Salted Caramel, with boozy pour over options
A QR code a la carte menu, similar to what we’ve seen in some other lounges, will also be available including the following options:
- The shore start breakfast sandwich with pork roll and tomato jam
- Ebelskivers, a Danish pancake with maple cream and apple compote
- A tofu truffle “cheesesteak” with cashew cheese and black garlic aioli
- A signature ribeye cheesesteak with tartufo provoleta and pickled long hots
The bar details are also exciting to hear. The airline shares that the Flagship Lounge will feature a full-service bar offering premium wines, six local beers, and bartender-crafted cocktails and mocktails.
Some signature drinks include:
- The Broad Street Old Fashioned and The Schuylkill Sunset, a nod to the sunset found at Philly’s Boathouse Road
- Seasonal mocktails like the Berry Coconito and Dream of ’76
Cocktail and mocktail offers will change by the season.
The initial renderings of this new Flagship Lounge have looked great, and these new details regarding the dining experience make it all the more exciting. As Philadelphia continues to emerge as a key gateway for transatlantic travelers, this Flagship Lounge will play a key role for American in offering a premium passenger experience.
