AA Enhances Online Check-in for International Travelers

American Airlines has enhanced its online flight check-in process that provides online check-in capability for passengers traveling internationally. Through online flight check-in at AA.com, customers traveling both domestically, and now internationally, can check in for their flight and subsequently print or e-mail their boarding pass, from anywhere in the world.“Online check-in enables customers to avoid an extra stop and head straight to the gate, saving valuable time when traveling,” said Derek DeCross, AAs Managing Director – Interactive Marketing. “This new enhancement to AA.com is another step in our efforts to help simplify the entire travel experience for our customers, whether they’re looking for flight deals, car rentals, hotel stays, or even cruises and activities. Over the next few months, we will make further enhancements.”

Customers can access flight check-in via the AA.com homepage or by visiting www.aa.com/findreservation and can check in two to 24 hours before international flights and one to 24 hours before domestic flights. Customers can then locate their flight reservation using either their AAdvantage login or their full name as it appears in travel documents, along with their six digit flight record locator.

Passengers traveling to International destinations will also need their passport information and will only be able to check in for flights to destinations where they have met international travel requirements. After customers locate their itinerary, the AA.com flight check-in process provides easy-to-use prompts for guidance through the appropriate steps

Once the check-in process is complete, passengers will have the option to print their boarding pass immediately from the confirmation page, e-mail their boarding pass to print later, or receive their boarding passes electronically on their mobile phones or PDAs (available in select cities only). For more details regarding online flight check-in at AA.com, customers can visit www.aa.com/checkin.
