We know most people have their preferred airlines to fly, for various reasons. For some, they like the perks they get with flying, the seating layout, or maybe there’s an airline that flies in and out of their city frequently.

For those of you who fly with American Airlines frequently, or have been toying with the idea of doing so, there’s something new on board that may get you even more excited to fly. The airline has just announced that there are now trading cards you can get for flying on board!
Starting in early May, new commemorative trading cards will arrive on American Airlines flights! Customers can collect them from the pilots on their flights, and cards will become more widely available this summer. The cards will showcase four fleet types currently flown by American: the A321neo, 737-800, 777-300ER, and 787-9P.

However, to celebrate the airline’s centennial anniversary, there are also three special edition trading cards available that represent the DC-3, 707-123, and MD-80, three aircraft that helped shape American history. Each trading card has an image of the aircraft, aircraft specifications, diagrams, and facts about each aircraft, plus specific aircraft registrations that give more context and historical facts about past and present aircraft.

While trading cards will be available on a first-come, first-served basis, so sometimes your pilots may not have any, it’s always worth politely checking with them! Seven million trading cards will be printed in time for summer, so if you’re not able to get them in the early part of the season, by the latter part, there should be plenty to go around.
We’ll be sure to keep you updated on all the latest travel news this summer, so no matter where you’re heading, you’ll feel prepared. Stay tuned to DFB!
