American Airlines is bringing back its Flagship Suite experience on flights between Brisbane and Dallas this October. Beyond the DFW-to-BNE route, American will offer the suites on select flights to London (LHR), Buenos Aires (EZE) and Auckland (AKL) from DFW, Chicago (ORD) and Philadelphia (PHL). Flagship Suite seats aboard the newly designed Boeing 787-9 aircraft are now available to purchase.
The Dallas-to-Brisbane flight will operate daily from 25 October 2025 to 28 March 2026. The Dallas-to-Auckland route will have daily service between 5 January and 28 March 2026.
DFW to BNE and DFW to AKL are two of American’s longest routes by distance, with the carrier being the only airline to operate the two routes. Now, with 51 Flagship Suite seats and 32 Premium Economy seats, American is offering travelers more ways to customize their experience.

Tip: Customers can verify their route will operate with newly designed Boeing 787-9 aircraft by looking for the “78P” designator on aa.com when purchasing their flight.
The Flagship Suite Experience
What does the Flagship Suite experience include? Guests can expect such amenities as dual-sided pillows with cool-touch fabric, plus premium duvets, slippers, pajamas and fleece blankets. (Note: customers in Premium Economy and Main Cabin can also enjoy “cozy” touches, like lumbar pillows and fleece blankets.)
Later this summer, American will further enhance the Flagship Business class experience on all widebody flights to East Asia, the Middle East, India, Australia and New Zealand with the introduction of pajamas and mattress pads, in addition to the slippers, dual-sided pillows and duvet that are already offered.
