BlueHouse Boston: Mosaic 4 and Mint fly free, lower tiers pay the toll.

American Airlines is reopening Flagship Dining at LAX this September after six years and, as of September 15, expanding access to all Flagship Business passengers in Dallas and Miami. This ends the exclusive Flagship First Dining experience, which was the best lounge product in North America for its quiet, premium food and wine. The new, larger crowds will be managed with electronic wait lists, and the menu shifts from Thomas Keller branding to a four-course 'refreshed' menu from American's culinary team. The special secret of 20,000-mile access for three people is gone; the trade is a more competitive ground product against United Polaris and Delta One lounges.

The American Airlines and Hyatt loyalty partnership ends November 15, 2026, with final earnings through February 2027. Members lose the ability to earn Hyatt Globalist via American ConciergeKey (protected through February 2028), Hyatt free night certificates from AAdvantage Loyalty Point Rewards, and Main Cabin Extra seat coupons from Hyatt milestones. The current structure already required giving up other rewards like systemwide upgrades to pick partner benefits, making the breakup less surprising.
