American Airlines and Casper help travelers dream big with new suite of onboard bedding 

American Airlines announced it is partnering with innovative global sleep company Casper to offer a best-in-class sleep experience to American Airlines customers. Beginning in December, customers seated in long-haul international and transcontinental First or Business class and Premium Economy can enjoy a suite of advanced sleep offerings designed by Casper’s award-winning engineering team. The Casper line of sleep products will include a mattress pad, duvet, pillow, day blanket, lumbar pillow, pajamas and slippers, with the exact offering varying based on the route. Casper studied the travel environment for months to better understand the challenges of in-flight sleep. Casper’s sleep engineers then applied their renowned expertise in sleep research and sleep science to design innovative products specifically for air travel and made exclusively for American Airlines. Casper researched more than a dozen versions of the onboard pillow and tested it with a variety of fibers to find the perfect balance of support and breathability for customers. Inspired by performance outerwear, Casper’s signature duvet and the onboard duvet are created to provide comfort at all altitudes, and its sewn-through seams create small, rectangular chambers for a consistent fill distribution to stay fluffy and in place. American put these designs to the test with customers on some of its longest flights, including Los Angeles to Auckland, New Zealand. The airline also tapped the expertise of some of its most frequent travelers, its flight attendants, for advice on fit, durability and comfort. Casper products will be available on these select routes in addition to traditional long-haul international and transcontinental routes:

• Boston (BOS) – Los Angeles (LAX)
• New York’s John F. Kennedy (JFK) – Seattle (SEA)
• Miami (MIA) – Seattle (SEA)
• Miami (MIA)– San Francisco (SFO)
• U.S. to Hawaii
• U.S. to Northern Rim of South America (MAR, MAO, BOG, CCS, CLO, GYE, LPB, MDE, UIO, VVI)
