The Stuck at the Airport team is a big fan of aviation-themed trading cards.

We love the airport trading cards series. And the trading cards featuring airport therapy dogs.

Airline trading cards

Starting in early May, passengers may begin asking American Airlines pilots for trading cards featuring the carrier’s fleet of aircraft, with cards becoming more widely available by summer.

The trading card line-up will include the four fleet types currently flown by American: the A321neo, 737-800, 777-300ER and 787-9P (Premium).

Also, to commemorate the airline’s centennial anniversary, three special edition trading cards will be available of the DC-3, 707-123 and MD-80, representing three aircraft that were instrumental in shaping American’s history.

Handed out by pilots and, occasionally, other flight crew members, airline trading cards are a great travel collectible.

In addition to American Airlines, Alaska Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Frontier Airlines, JetBlue, Southwest Airlines, Spirit Airlines and United Airlines all have trading card series too.

If you know your A320 from your A321neo, this one’s for you. ✈️ JetBlue trading cards are now flying – ask your pilot to start collecting.
