American Airlines has announced an exclusive partnership with the Michelin Guide, creating new culinary experiences for members of its AAdvantage loyalty programme. Members will be able to redeem miles for chef-led dining events, collaborations with Michelin-starred restaurants and bespoke culinary travel experiences. The first events are planned for 2027.
The first three dining events are scheduled for February 2027 in Los Angeles, April 2027 in Miami and June 2027 in Chicago. Each is being created with the Michelin Guide and is meant to give guests access to restaurant collaborations, new menus and the stories behind them.
American will also become the official and exclusive restaurant partner for the U.S. Michelin Guide Ceremonies, which recognise chefs and restaurants through Michelin Stars, Bib Gourmand awards and other honours.
The culinary travel experiences will be designed by Michelin Guide experts, with input from its inspectors, and will offer access to chefs, hotels and wineries through customised itineraries. The first journey is planned for Porto, Portugal, in September 2027, timed to coincide with American's launch of service there.
American's Chief Customer Officer, Heather Garboden, said the partnership gives members access to culinary moments that go beyond travel. Gwendal Poullennec, the Michelin Guide's International Director, said it would bring travellers closer to people, places and culinary experiences. The announcement was published by Future Travel Experience in November 2026.
