For the first time ever, anyone 21 years or older can sit back, relax and enjoy these premium wines by having them delivered straight to their door.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>American calls Flagship its \u201cwine passport to the world\u201d at a time when flying is morally contentious and heavily restricted.<\/p>\n<p>Customers can pick pre-curated collections, build their own box or buy a $99.99 three-bottle monthly subscription. \u201cSubscriptions may be for a limited time,\u201d the release warns.<\/p>\n<p>Not surprisingly, American is incorporating its AAdvantage loyalty program into the new venture: Members can earn 2 miles for every dollar spent on a Flagship order, so they can sip themselves toward a discounted flight someday when the skies clear again.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor wine lovers around the world, wine provides a deeper connection to the places they enjoy visiting,\u201d said Alison Taylor, chief customer officer at American. The release does not once explicitly mention the coronavirus pandemic or the devastation to airlines across the globe.<\/p>\n<p>This month, American <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2021\/01\/07\/american-airlines-bans-alcohol-on-dc-flights-after-capitol-siege\/\">banned alcohol<\/a> on its DC flights following the pro-Trump siege of the Capitol that left at least five people dead. \u201cWe are working closely with local law enforcement and airport authority partners to ensure the safety of our customers and team members on the ground and in the air,\u201d airline spokesman Derek Walls said in a statement to The Sun.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<div class=\"tag-list\" data-gtm-vis-recent-on-screen-1221804_133=\"17892\" data-gtm-vis-first-on-screen-1221804_133=\"17892\" data-gtm-vis-total-visible-time-1221804_133=\"100\" data-gtm-vis-has-fired-1221804_133=\"1\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>American Airlines knows where the real money is during a pandemic: booze.
