American Airlines Check In

Checking in for your American Airlines flight has never been easier. You can start your check-in process as early as 24 hours before your scheduled departure using several convenient options. Online check-in is the fastest and most popular choice, allowing you to select your seat, update personal details, and even purchase additional services. Simply visit the American Airlines website or use the mobile app to complete your check-in. If you’re traveling with checked luggage, you can still use online check-in and drop off your bags at the airport’s designated counters.

For passengers who prefer the airport check-in counter, these typically open 3 to 4 hours before your flight. Kiosks at the airport are also available for self-service check-in, offering another quick way to get your boarding pass without waiting in line.

If you have any special requests or travel needs, such as unaccompanied minors, oversized luggage, or medical assistance, it’s recommended to check in at the airport counter. Don’t forget to bring a valid government-issued photo ID along with your booking reference.

Arriving at the airport with plenty of time is always wise—at least 2 hours before domestic flights and 3 hours before international flights—to ensure a stress-free experience. Checking in early also gives you a better chance of getting your preferred seat.

For any questions about the check-in process or to ensure you’re ready for your upcoming flight, you can always reach out to American Airlines customer service at +1-866-551-1186. They’re available 24/7 to help make your travel experience smooth and enjoyable.
