American Airlines<\/a> is marking its upcoming 100th anniversary with a nostalgic nod to its past.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Capitalizing on today’s popular retro food trend,<\/a> the airline is introducing luxury menu offerings inspired by the Roaring Twenties. Beginning Feb. 9, travelers are able to preorder special dishes, with menus appearing on select flights starting in March, the airline said in a news release.<\/p>\n

Adding decadent dishes like beef Wellington and prawn cocktail isn’t just a step back in time. The move also apparently addresses a growing frustration among travelers that in-flight dining has been less than satisfactory in recent years.<\/p>\n

FROM RETRO TO REFINED: JELL-O SALAD AND SAVORY GELATIN DISHES MAKE UNEXPECTED RETURN<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

“Pan Am and similar airlines offered spacious seating arrangements, proper cutlery and fine dining,” a Reddit user posted on the “r\/aviation” forum not long ago. “Not to mention [that] being an airline crew [member] was prestigious.”<\/p>\n

“These amenities and circumstances are extremely cost-intensive \u2026 Today it is so far from the luxury it once was<\/u><\/a>, [given that] cost-cutting and corporate culture reign supreme,” the Reddit user added.<\/p>\n

American Airlines travelers may soon feel differently.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Appetizers will include a prawn cocktail and a Waldorf salad, with caviar, blinis and a deviled egg topped with cr\u00e8me fra\u00eeche added in April.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In domestic First Class, a Boursin cream cheese dip will also be offered on select long-haul routes, the airline said.<\/p>\n

The entr\u00e9e selections<\/a> continue the throwback theme, led by beef Wellington served with roasted vegetables and asparagus topped with b\u00e9arnaise sauce.<\/p>\n

Chicken Florentine roulade paired with mashed potatoes and mushroom sauce will be another entr\u00e9e option. A pecan tart <\/a>will be included in the dessert offerings, the airline said in its release.<\/p>\n

The menus will debut on select international and transcontinental flights<\/a> in American\u2019s Flagship First and Flagship Business cabins, with domestic First Class service added in April.<\/p>\n

The offerings are for a limited time only, the airline noted.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Our centennial year is a chance to reflect on how far we\u2019ve come,” said Rhonda Crawford, American\u2019s SVP of Customer Experience Design and Strategy, in the release. \u00a0<\/p>\n

“These menus celebrate the flavors that defined the early days of American Airlines in a way that feels special and memorable<\/a> for today\u2019s travelers.”<\/p>\n

Said one social media user on Reddit, “Different days indeed.”<\/p>\n

“Old guy here,” the person continued a few years ago in a post.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Went on my first flight at 6 years old in 1970 from Chicago to Florida. Each ticket cost $500 (equivalent of maybe $2,500 now). We went out and bought special \u2018airplane clothes,\u2019 the equivalent of church attire<\/u><\/a>. I remember eating steak on the plane.”<\/p>\n

Commenters reacting to American Airlines’ news took a variety of stances.<\/p>\n

Writing on Instagram, one person said, “Caviar? I’ll believe it when I see it.”<\/p>\n

Someone else wrote, “How about they bring back good service?”<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital reached out to American Airlines for further comment about the new menu offerings.<\/p>\n

During 2026, “customers will continue to see additional centennial touches<\/a> \u2014 from limited\u2011edition amenity kits and pajamas to other celebratory moments \u2014 with more initiatives to be announced throughout the year,” the airline said in its release.<\/p>\n
