In a desperate burst of logic and chaos, she unzips the bag in front of everyone, frantically shifting clothes, then begins layering them on: sweaters, hoodies, even multiple bras, transforming into a human laundry pile. The crowd stares as she shoves the bag back on the scale — exactly 50.0 pounds.

American Airlines launched a new mid-tier credit card to customers who travel more than the occasional holiday-goer.

American Airlines will unify the coffee menu across its flight and lounge network with Lavazza starting in early 2026.

This week, American Airlines shared a list of benefits that come with its new travel credit card, the Citi / AAdvantage Globe Mastercard. Alongside rewards such as inflight purchases credit, preferred boarding, and lounge access were a couple of items that some American Airlines loyalists might take advantage of.

Getting into the world of travel credit cards can be extremely intimidating. With high annual fees, confusing jargon, and few immediate benefits, signing up for one can feel more daunting than rewarding.

American Airlines and Citi have launched the new Citi®/AAdvantage® Globe™ Mastercard®, a $350 mid-tier credit card offering four Admirals Club passes, a $99 companion certificate and status-boosting Flight Streak™ bonuses.

The Citi AAdvantage Globe Mastercard also offers a 'splurge credit' and various other valuable benefits for loyalists.

The new , from our partner Citi, offers premium perks to frequent American Airlines flyers who value Admirals Club access and accelerated mileage earning. However, casual travelers may be deterred by its high annual fee.

In true American tradition, the new aircraft will carry a name 'Flagship DFW,' a homage to Dallas Fort Worth International Airport, the airline's home base.
