Overview

The American Airlines Flagship Lounge at Miami airport opened late November 2017. Exclusively reserved for international premium and elite passengers and premium transcontinental passengers bound for Los Angeles, the Flagship Lounge Miami opened on the heels of the New York JFK and Chicago locations.

Spanning over 29,000 square feet, with seating for 475 customers, the expansive space—American’s largest Flagship Lounge so far—is outfitted with a variety of seating options catering to work, rest, and relaxation, all with a power outlet within reach.

Amenities include a full complimentary buffet with a broad selection of salads, hot entrees, and desserts; a self-service selection of wines, liquor, and spirits; and shower suites with CO Bigelow bath amenities.

Within the lounge is Flagship Dining, a private 20-seat full-service restaurant reserved exclusively for American Airlines’ international First Class customers (and off-limits to passengers traveling on partner airlines and oneworld elites.) In this sanctuary, guests visiting the lounge after 2pm may enjoy complimentary multi-course meals and a full bar staffed by expert bartenders. The menu, which uses locally-sourced ingredients, will rotate seasonally.

Great Lounge built around an atrium with plenty of seating in many different areas. Nice apron view.

One large buffet with many warm items and several self service stations troughout the lounge. Choice of food was quite nice featuring many warm items. Huge selection of beverages including winebar, free flow champagne, lots of spirits and large variety of beers. First Class passengers are entitled to use the Flagship Dining Restaurant – have a look at my review to see how fantastic this was.

Free WIFI, newspapers and magazines, TV-room, business centre and nice restrooms and showers.
