PHOENIX - American Airlines now offers Self-ServiceSM Check-In at 30 domestic airports, with the recent installation in Terminal 3 at Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport. The easy-to-use machines allow passengers flying domestically with an electronic ticket to check in for their flight, select a seat, check their luggage and obtain a boarding pass.
“More than 3 million passengers have used Self-Service Check-In to date,” said Dan Garton, American`s Executive Vice President - Customer Service. “We are extremely pleased with the customer response to our product and are continuing to install additional machines in many more cities this year. Self-Service is one of many airport automation products American has deployed that, in tandem with our dedicated Customer Services employees, help streamline our customers’ airport experience.”


Through the end of the year, first-time Self-Service Check-In users will receive 500 AAdvantage® bonus miles when they check in at the machines.
