At the kiosk

Travelers will have three ways to retrieve their reservations at American Airlines airport kiosks: their AAdvantage^®number, six-digit record locator or by swiping a credit card issued in their name. Last names will no longer be used as the sole identifier for check-in. The “Dangerous Goods” screen will also change. Travelers will need to acknowledge on the screen they are not carrying dangerous goods, as opposed to acknowledging and agreeing the dangerous goods policy by clicking “yes” as they did previously with US Airways.

AAdvantage® benefits refresher

American has already combined the AAdvantage and Dividend Miles programs for its frequent flyers, providing the ability to earn and redeem miles on both airlines. On Oct. 17, the upgrade, standby and same day flight change policies will be fully aligned. Please see aa.com for more information on upgrades and same day flight changes.
