Time Savers For Traveling People
are more than in a hurry when they are traveling. This is when they need to save
the most time they can make their travel plans go as smoothly as possible AND
make their flight. What services are out there to help travelers plan in half
the time with half the work? Self-Service
Check-In: Travelers will be relieved to know
that they no longer have to stand in line to check in at the counter. A number
of airlines have installed self-service check-in machines at airports around the
nation. These machines allow passengers with or without luggage to begin their
check-in with just one touch and receive their boarding pass -- often in less
than 90 seconds. American Airlines has more than 700 AA Self-Service Check-In
machines at more than 90 locations across the country. Plan
on Airline Web sites: Today's airline web sites
provide a number of opportunities to make travel simpler. American Airlines' web
site, AA.com, provides a host of features including booking airfare, car and hotel
booking, checking flight departure and arrival status, viewing gate information,
and learning about weather at destinations. Online
Check-in: Several airlines allow the new convenience
of - checking in for your flight from the comfort of their own home. This allows
travelers to head straight for the security checkpoint upon arrival and then on
to the gate. American Airlines' AA.com online check-in allows passengers with
domestic, e-ticketed flights to check in 30 hours prior to departure, select a
seat and even print their boarding pass on their computer printer. Flight
Status Notification: Ever gotten to the airport
and found out your plane is delayed or your gate has changed? Some airline web
sites allow for proactive notification of status of flights and gate information.
American Airlines' Flight Status Notification let's you sign up at AA.com to be
contacted by phone, mobile phone, alphanumeric pager, personal digital assistant
(PDA) and email with any flight updates before your flight. (source:
