American Airline Credit Cards only flights

American Airlines will begin this summer to transition to cashless cabins within the United States and to and from Canada. On these flights, American, will only accept major credit cards or debit cards for onboard purchases such as headsets, light meals, snacks and alcoholic beverages.

"Moving to a cashless cabin allows us to streamline the inflight sales process for both our customers and flight attendants," said Lauri Curtis, American's Vice President - Onboard Service.

Flight attendants will be using a hand-held Onboard Sales Recorder to charge credit and debit cards. The airline has been using these user-friendly devices since May 2006.

American Express(R) and other major credit and debit cards will be accepted.
