Starting February 15, 2025, American Airlines will introduce larger Embraer E175 aircraft on all flights to Chicago O’Hare International Airport (ORD). This exciting upgrade means travelers can now enjoy more spacious seating, premium amenities, and—for the first time—First-Class options on this route.
