American Airlines Introduces Mobile Boarding Passes at Select Airports for Use With Mobile Phones or PDAs
FORT WORTH

-
Mobile boarding passes, which use a two-dimensional (2-D) barcode, are
being introduced today for passengers departing on domestic flights from
The mobile boarding pass program is being rolled out in partnership with the United States Transportation Security Administration (TSA). If successful in trial cities, it could be extended to additional U.S. airports in the coming months.
To use the mobile boarding pass option -- either with the traditional
desktop version of AA.com or the mobile version -- customers must have an
active e-mail address where their boarding pass may be sent and an
Internet-enabled mobile device where the 2-D barcode can be received.
Additionally, during the introduction of this new feature, customers may list
only one person in their reservation and must be traveling on American or
American Eagle nonstop or same-plane direct to a domestic destination from
The mobile boarding pass process is simple: When customers check in for their flight using American's Web site, AA.com -- either the desktop or mobile versions -- they have the option to receive their boarding passes on their cell phones or PDAs. If this option is selected, they will get an e-mail with an Internet link to their boarding pass. The mobile boarding pass contains a 2-D barcode that can be scanned at TSA security checkpoints and at American Airlines gates. At the airport, customers simply scan their cell phone or PDA screen when going through Security (proper identification must be presented) and when boarding, just as they would a traditional paper boarding pass.
Customers wishing to check bags can also use the new option by scanning the boarding pass on their cell phone or PDA screen at American Airlines self- service machines, ticket counters, or curbside check-in facilities.
Customers who check in online and wish to print a paper boarding pass are still able to do so. At the end of the online check-in process on AA.com, customers can now choose how they would like to receive their boarding pass by selecting either "Print" (customers can print the pass at that time, or use a self-service check-in machine to print at the airport), "E-mail for Print" (boarding pass is emailed and customers can print at their convenience), or "E-mail for use on Cell Phone or Other Device" (customers receive an electronic boarding pass via email on their cell phone or mobile device, which would then be presented at the airport).
"Mobile boarding via AA.com is the latest way American Airlines is making
travel as easy and convenient as possible, especially for our customers on the
go," said
