American Way was a free, inflight magazine available across the entire American Airlines fleet and Admirals Clubs premium lounges. The magazine was first published in 1966.[1] It was published on a monthly basis and reached over 16 million passengers every month.[2]

In 2014, American Airlines appointed Ink as the new publisher of American Way.[3] Ink's first issue launched in January 2015 with a double cover edition featuring rock star David Grohl and the band Foo Fighters,[4] touting a fresh design and an editorial mix of international celebrities, world-class destinations and extraordinary stories.[5] In June 2021, American Way ceased publication.[6]
