York to London for Sunday's Baftas.
Here MailOnline Travel offers a tantalising behind-the-scenes look at the VIP travel service A-listers will be treated
to during their journey.
The airline claims it 'has Hollywood luxury all wrapped up'.
Does it? Well, here's the evidence - from being chauffeured across
the tarmac from the plane to the terminal, to unlimited champagne and in-flight DIY ice cream sundae menus.
Arriving at LAX
American Airlines will be flying some of Hollywood's biggest stars from LA and New York
to London for this Sunday's Baftas. The airline offers a range of premium services catering to celebrities, such as chauffeured cars to the plane
As soon as Hollywood's elite arrive at LAX they will be treated to American Airline's exclusive Five Star Service.
After an expedited check-in service they will be escorted
to the comfort of a brand new lounge area called 'Flagship',
which opened last year as part of a $200 million investment
Luxury service from the get go
American Airlines wouldn't reveal who will be boarding
its planes this awards season due to privacy reasons.
But potential customers are Lady Gaga, Bradley Cooper, Christian Bale, Amy Adams and Emma Stone -
they're all Bafta nominees.
As soon as Hollywood's elite arrive at LAX, whether they've bought
a business or first class ticket, will be treated to American Airline's exclusive 'Five Star Service'.
In the Flagship lounge customers can enjoy a range of food options including a
'robust' food buffet and a chef station with freshly made-to-order dishes.
They can pair their meals with premium wines, champagne, and spirits, or concoct a refreshing drink at the 'build your own cocktail' station
If flying in first class, travellers will be able to access a premium dining service with
restaurant-worthy dishes rustled up
They will be met curbside and taken to an exclusive check-in area, where they can avoid
being hassled by media. Then they get to skip to the
front of the security lines.

To get into the celebratory mood, they can also indulge in craft
spirits and specially-designed cocktails - which aren't on offer to
business passengers.
Stars will be collected from the lounge by an attendant, shuttled to the plane across the tarmac in a luxury car
and will board the aircraft before other passengers.
A private jet-style aircraft
Offering celebrities a private jet-style service from
Los Angeles to New York, AA has reduced the number of seats on board its Airbus A321T (pictured).
The plane offers plenty of room with just 102 seats, while other airlines flying the same model pack the
space out with up to 230 seats
AA says that many stars flying from Los Angeles choose to stop in New York on their way to
meet with agents or take part in photo shoots.
If they do this AA says the Bafta nominees will be
treated to 'private jet-style service' on board an Airbus A321T.
The airline has installed just 102 seats on the aircraft, while other airlines flying the same model
pack the space out with up to 230 seats.
For stars who have snagged first class tickets - these
start from $1,993 (£1,538) one way - AA says they can expect A-list treatment all the way.
Let's begin with the seats - there are just ten, measuring 21 inches wide,
and they all lay flat and have direct aisle access.
Then there's the fodder, which is sure to make the stars
salivate.
AA says the first class menu features restaurant-worthy dishes, such as filet
mignon, chicken cacciatore, braised Tuscan beef stew
and native lobster with fennel salad.
And, if they're not too worried about fitting into their Bafta outfits,
the stars might want to check out AA's popular sundae service, which
means they can design their own ice creams.
The first class section on board AA's Airbus A321T is very
private with ten 'all aisle access' seats.
These extend to form lie-flat beds and plush bedding sets are provided so passengers can pack in a
spot of beauty sleep
In both business (above) and first class on the A321T there is WiFi and TV screens with power outlets, so celebrities can keep up to date
with their Twitter accounts while they fly
Those travelling in business class, where tickets start
from $1,199 (£925), will be pleased to note that they can also
indulge in this novel dessert service.
And they get a good sense of privacy, because there are
just 20 seats in the cabin, measuring 19 inches across.
These also extend to flat beds but they don't provide all-aisle access as in the first class area.
Although there isn't lobster and filet mignon on the menu in business,
the food offering is still pretty appetising and AA says current menu items include red
snapper tagine and braised short ribs.
In both business and first class on the A321T passengers
get Bose noise cancelling headphones, WiFi access and TV screens with power outlets.
For a spot of beautification there are amenity bags by luxury accessories brand Cole Haan stuffed
with products from C.O. Bigelow. These lotions and potions vary slightly between business and first.
Meanwhile, all passengers are provided with plush duvet and pillow sets by Casper, to aid that all-important beauty sleep.
The flight across the Atlantic
AA's Boeing 777-300 flies from Los Angeles and New York direct to London
As with the Airbus A321T, mouth-watering meals are served in business and
in first class and there is a dine-on-demand
service so that passengers can eat when they please
For the journey across the Atlantic, whether it's from LA or New York, our
gong hopefuls will step on board a Boeing 777-300.
If they've plumped for first class - which costs from $13,148
(£10,143) Los Angeles to London and $9,693 (£7,478)
New York to London - they're in for the ultimate in sky high luxury.
There are just eight seats in the first class compartment,
measuring 21.5 inches wide and, as with the other aircraft, these
extend to flat beds and have direct aisle access.
Those paying the extra whack can indulge in a dine-on-demand
service, meaning they can get meals curated by award-winning chef Sam Choy delivered whenever they please.

throughout the flight
In first class on AA's Boeing 777-300 passengers will get luxury bedding to
optimise their comfort. These Casper sleep sets include
a mattress pad, lumbar pillow, blanket, duvet, two
pillows, eyemask, slippers and pyjamas
Crossing the transatlantic like a star certainly requires deep pockets, as a
return ticket from Los Angeles to London in business class starts at $10,
156 (£7,835) and runs up to $13,148 (£10,143) for a spot in first class.

Those jet-setting in first class will also get luxury Casper bedding to optimise their comfort.
These sleep sets include a mattress pad, lumbar pillow, blanket,
duvet, two pillows, eye mask, slippers and pyjamas.
Furthering the lure of first class, the seats on the AA Boeing 777-300 can swivel.
This means passengers can turn the space into a work station, with the seat rotating towards a desk.
Alternatively, the chairs can be swivelled 180 degrees allowing passengers to dine together.
Business class isn't too shabby, either.
The business class section on AA's Boeing 777-30 is bigger than average with 52 seats
to ensure all stars (and their entourages) can be accommodated.
Above, a view of the business class area
On the comfort front, the stars can indulge in an array of lotions and potions from leading skincare brand C.O.
Bigelow, with an assortment of products neatly
packed into a smart Cole Haan amenity kit bag. Above, an amenity kit
