American Airlines announces renovation plans

American Airlines has recently begun extensive renovations to its Admirals Club at Logan International Airport in Boston. The project, which is expected to be completed in early 2010, will feature a reconfigured floor plan to create a more open, spacious feel and will be divided into three phases to allow the club to remain open throughout its duration.

“We are excited to offer Admirals Club members and day pass visitors additional space and an updated facility in Boston,” said Nancy Knipp, President – Admirals Club for American Airlines. “The refurbishments to our Admirals Club will further our efforts to better serve our members and guests.”

The remodelled lounge will offer seating for 214 and include the addition of a cyber café, children’s room with age-appropriate TV programming and computer games, five new flat panel televisions as part of a TV lounge and café seating where customers can enjoy complimentary light snacks, juice, tea, coffee and soft drinks or purchase delicious fare from the lounge’s food and beverage program, Amora. An upgraded multi-functional business centre will also be included, while American’s Premium Services representatives will also be on hand to assist guests with boarding passes, reservations, seat selection and upgrades.

As part of its summer schedule, operating May until October, American Airlines will also be adding an extra daily non-stop service to Boston’s Logan International Airport from Heathrow, bringing the frequency to three per day. The change is designed to better serve business and leisure travellers during the popular spring/summer/fall travel period and all flights will be served using a twin class Boeing 767-300.
