American Airlines Introduces Round-Trip Flight Check-In At AA.com

Convenient Feature Enables Customers to Check In for Both Outbound and Return Segments If Flights Are Within 24 Hours of Each Other

FORT WORTH, Texas – American Airlines, a founding member of the global oneworld® Alliance, has introduced an enhancement to online Flight Check-In at AA.com. Now travelers who have return flights within 24 hours of departure can check in for both outbound and return flight segments at the same time.

Round-Trip Flight Check-In is available at www.aa.com/checkin for customers traveling with domestic e-tickets when their return trip falls within 24 hours of their initial departure. The new feature is especially helpful for passengers who want to check in for their entire same-day trip online but may not have computer and printer access at their destination. Additionally, Round-Trip Flight Check-In provides the earliest possible check-in time for customers seeking a flight upgrade or for those who would like to be added to a standby list. Just as before, passengers are able to check in online up to 24 hours prior to departure.

“Round-Trip Flight Check-In is something our customers have requested. They want to be able to check in for their same-day flights all at once,” said Rob Friedman, American’s Managing Director – Interactive Marketing. “We listened to their feedback and are pleased to now provide this timesaving convenience.”
