To offer customers new choices in snacks and beverages, 
American Airlines announced today changes to the items 
available in its Economy Class food-for-sale program.
American also said it will begin testing several new 
beverages on its flights over the next three months.

    Beginning Saturday, March 1, the featured food-for-sale products on
flights departing before 10 a.m. will include GNS Vanilla Honey Trail Mix
and Mega Bite(R) Chocolate Chunk Cookies for $3 each. On flights departing
after 10 a.m., Lay's Stax(R) Potato Crisps, American's best-selling item,
also will be available for $3.

    "As part of our focus on improving the customer experience, American
Airlines regularly reviews our food-for-sale program to ensure our
customers have choice and variety," said John Tiliacos, American's Managing
Director - Onboard Products. "We're pleased to incorporate new selections
and test various products to refine our food-for-sale program."

    Beverage Tests

    American will test three specialty beverages on all food-for-sale
flights through May 31. Available for $3, the test will feature Lipton
Green Tea with Citrus, vitaminwater and smartwater. Each test will be
conducted for one month:



    -- March 1-31: 20 oz. Lipton Green Tea with Citrus
    -- April 1-30: 20 oz. vitaminwater
    -- May 1-31: 20 oz. smartwater

    American launched its food-for-sale program in early 2005 with the goal
of providing quality food items for purchase in the Economy Class cabin.
Today, the program is available on more than 1,400 domestic flights of two
hours or greater.

    American, a founding member of the global oneworld(R) Alliance, accepts
American Express(R) Cards and all major credit and debit cards for onboard
purchases. Receipts are provided to passengers upon request.

    Food-for-sale items may vary on American Eagle and AmericanConnection
flights.
