FORT WORTH, Texas, July 5, 2012

FORT WORTH, Texas, July 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- American Airlines today
announced Los Angeles – London Heathrow as the next route to feature the
highly anticipated Boeing 777-300ER.   Beginning next summer, customers
traveling between Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and London Heathrow
Airport (LHR) will have the opportunity to enjoy the world-class travel
experience the new aircraft offers. 

American's 777-300ERs will be configured as three-class aircraft and will
include fully lie-flat First and Business Class seats with direct aisle
access, Main Cabin Extra, inflight entertainment at every seat, and Wi-Fi
capability to keep customers connected while traveling internationally.
American previously announced that customers traveling between Dallas/Fort
Worth (DFW) and Sao Paulo (GRU) will be the first to experience the newest
addition to American's fleet in December. In February 2013 the aircraft will
fly to London Heathrow from both Dallas/Fort Worth and New York JFK. 

Below is the schedule for the new 777-300ER LAX-LHR routes that will appear in
global distribution systems this week.

Market                                    Flight      Frequency Date
Los Angeles (LAX) – London Heathrow (LHR) AA136/AA137 Daily     June 1, 2013

"We are excited to bring the 777-300ER to more of our key markets, giving our
customers traveling between Los Angeles and London the opportunity to
experience the industry leading amenities this great aircraft has to offer,"
said Virasb Vahidi, American's Chief Commercial Officer. "Our Los Angeles
customers will be among the first to experience the state-of-the-art travel
experience with new cabin interiors, more inflight entertainment options and
seat comfort in every cabin."  

The three-class cabin configuration in the new 777-300ERs will provide
American with more customer and cargo capacity than any other aircraft in its
fleet today. American will be the first airline to use a dramatic archway and
ceiling treatment on the 777-300ER to create a feeling of spaciousness, and
customers will be welcomed into the aircraft by unique mood lighting. A
walk-up bar in the premium cabin stocked with snacks and refreshments will be
a first for any U.S. airline and adds another unique element of luxury to the
777-300ER. Entertainment options include up to 120 movies, more than 150 TV
programs and more than 350 audio selections that will be offered throughout
the aircraft. Every seat will feature individual 110-volt AC power outlets and
USB jacks for charging personal electronic devices. For more information,

American is the first U.S. airline to order and take delivery of the Boeing
777-300ER. American anticipates taking delivery of 10 Boeing 777-300ERs
beginning in December 2012.  The 777-300ERs will complement American's fleet
by offering additional network flexibility in the future, as well as providing
increased efficiency due to better seat mile economics and performance
characteristics.
