LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - American Airlines announces the installation of three Self-Service Check-In machines at Little Rock National Airport, the 31st city where American offers this convenient service. Bright yellow arrows direct customers to the machine locations at each airport.

“Our passengers’ response to Self-Service Check-In has been extremely positive,” said Dan Garton, American’s executive vice president - Customer Service. “More than 3 million people have discovered the convenience of these machines to check in for their flights, select their seats, obtain boarding passes, and even check luggage, all in one quick and easy stop. Of course, our excellent customer service representatives are also available to assist passengers who desire or need additional assistance.”

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.

More than 240 Self-Service Check-In machines are available at airports in Albuquerque, N.M.; Atlanta; Austin, Texas; Boston; Chicago (O`Hare); Cleveland; Dallas/Fort Worth; Denver; Detroit; Hartford, Conn.; Houston (Bush International); Kansas City; Long Beach, Calif.; Los Angeles; Miami; Minneapolis; Nashville, Tenn.; New York (LaGuardia and JFK); Newark; Orlando, Fla.; Phoenix, Philadelphia; Raleigh/Durham, N.C.; San Antonio, Texas; Seattle; San Jose, Calif.; St. Louis; Tulsa, Okla.; and Washington, D.C.

For convenience even before entering the terminal, American offers more than 300 mobile curbside check-in units in over 80 cities for customers with paper or electronic tickets. Customers may use curbside service to check bags, receive a boarding pass and then proceed through security straight to the gate. American has also introduced Roving Agent, a wireless hand-held device, allowing American agents to approach passengers who are traveling without checked baggage and complete their check-in transaction on the spot. Available in 10 domestic airports, American’s wireless Roving Agent product also provides dynamic flight information to assist employees in answering customers’ questions.
