American Airlines is bringing back complimentary booze, although beer and wine only, on American Airlines flights to Asia, Europe, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay. This is an interesting development. With the US airlines, it has been recently like how we can unbundle more services that we can sell. Of course the booze used to be free on all flights, but that was gradually withdrawn.
Not sure what made American to take this move. The booze, and not just beer and wine, has been on the complimentary basis with most European and Asian carriers. Anyway, on your next international flight on American, if you happen to be seated on coach, make sure to request your complimentary beer or wine.
Complimentary Beer and Wine Service is available in international main cabins onboard international flights between the U.S. and Europe, the U.S. and Asia and select flights between the U.S. and Latin America, including: Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil (CNF); Brasilia, Distrito Federal, Brazil (BSB); Buenos Aires, Argentina (EZE); Rio De Janeiro, Brazil (GIG); Sao Paulo, Brazil (GRU); Santiago, Chile (SCL); Montevideo, Uruguay (MVD); Salvador, Bahia, Brazil (SSA); and Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil (REC). Beer and wine offerings will vary by flight.
