American Airlines enhanced AA Self-Service Check-In machines enable customers to check in for flights in significantly less time - sometimes as little as 30 seconds.  These upgraded machines provide greater convenience, utilizing advanced technology and faster processing speed, so passengers can quickly navigate through the airport to reach their gates.With the enhanced machines passengers can easily check in for as many as four flight segments, print boarding passes (reprints are also allowed), check bags and request an upgrade.  Passengers are also able to request or change seats, or request standby status for an alternate flight.  As an added convenience, the Self-Service Check-In machines now offer a bag-check-in-only option for passengers who have already printed their boarding passes using Flight Check-In at AA.com and need only to check bags when arriving at the airport.  Customers can view a quick demonstration of American’s Self-Service Check-In product at www.aa.com/selfservice
