American Airlines has announced the introduction of its new Flagship Suite seats on Boeing 787-9 aircraft, beginning with the Chicago to London route.

According to a press release on American Airlines’ official newsroom, these new suites will feature sliding privacy doors, direct aisle access, wireless charging, and a chaise lounge-style seat that reclines into a fully flat bed.
