“This summer is shaping up to be incredibly exciting for American as the Official Airline of U.S. Soccer,” said American’s Chief Marketing Officer Caroline Clayton. “Not only will we help fly fans to host cities on more flights than any other domestic carrier, but these amenity kits will help build excitement and passion for the tournament – and are match day ready! We’re excited to see them become part of this iconic tournament.”
Designed for the journey and the celebration, these amenity kits can move with fans from the cabin to the stadium all summer long.

- Flagship Business and Flagship Suite seats: A clear bag with leather piping detail that can be worn two ways – as a belt bag or crossbody.

“The passion around soccer in this country continues to grow, and partnerships like this help turn that energy into experiences fans can actually see, touch and be part of,” said U.S. Soccer Chief Commercial Officer David Wright. “These amenity kits are a creative way for American Airlines to celebrate the summer of soccer and help fans carry that excitement with them, from the airport to the stadium and everywhere in between.”
American’s new amenity kits feature a curated selection of travel-ready skincare designed to refresh customers throughout their travel journey. Each kit features a curated selection of hand and body lotion, lip balm and brand-new items fit for summer: after-sun cooling gel and soccer-style socks, which will be available in both Flagship First and Flagship Suite Preferred seats and Flagship Business and Flagship Suite seats.
