“When it comes to checking in for flights, American offers our customers
an array of choices,” said Rob Friedman, Managing Director - Interactive
Marketing at American. “For convenience when you have access to the
Internet and a printer, you can go to http://www.aa.com/ to check in and
print your boarding pass, or you can use the quick self-service machines
at the airport. If you have luggage and don’t want to carry it into the
airport, you can check in at curbside, which is available at most
airports. And, as always, our agents are available to assist you with
check-in inside the terminal.”

With Flight Check-In at AA.com, you can print your boarding pass and
select or change your seat assignment up to 24 hours before your flight.
AA Self-Service Check-In machines at the airport let you print your
boarding pass, upgrade, select or change your seat, or stand by for an
alternate flight. With curbside check-in, you can check bags and get a
boarding pass at the curb, then go straight to the security checkpoint.
Anytime you are traveling internationally or need extra assistance, use
agent check-in at the airport.
