American Airlines has announced winter deployments for its new Boeing 787 Dreamliners, which feature its upgraded business class product called Flagship Suite.

American began taking delivery of the 787s in May and expects to have 30 in service by 2029.

The aircraft is currently flying from Chicago O'Hare to London Heathrow and will continue that route. American will also use it between Philadelphia and London between early August and Jan. 5, extending the announced service lasting until late October. 

American will also serve London with the aircraft from its Dallas home base; it plans a daily flight from Oct. 26 to Jan. 5, and two daily between Dec. 3. and Jan. 5.

Previously announced service with the 787s is also on sale for the winter season on flights from Dallas to Brisbane, Australia, and Dallas to Auckland, New Zealand.

Finally, the aircraft will be placed on flights from Dallas to Buenos Aires.

Flagship Suites feature a sliding privacy door, a unique chaise lounge seating option, a wireless charging pad and more personal storage space than other American business class configurations.

The sliding privacy doors have had to remain open since American flew the first of its new 787s on June 5. But flyers will be able to begin using the doors this weekend, after they received certification from the FAA.

American also introduced a new premium economy seat on its reconfigured 787s.
