What is an American Plan?

Answer:
An American plan is a plan (room and board)

that includes three meals a day along with your room. You will find this sometimes called “full board” or AP when making your hotel reservation.

You can choose a modified American plan (MAP, half pension, or half board), which includes only two meals, or a European plan, which is no meals or a small breakfast only.

Many European countries commonly offer these with your hotel stay.

American plans are a great deal and often times if the hotel or resort is offering this sort of plan you may be able to negotiate the plan into your stay.
