American Airlines Group Inc. will discontinue first-class meals on most flights of less than 2 hours 45 minutes, providing a snack instead.
The change takes effect Sept. 1 for trips within the U.S., Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean, the carrier said on its website and in an e-mail to frequent fliers today. American previously provided free meals to travelers in the premium cabin on flights of more than 2 hours.
