How to use the new Mobile Boarding Pass

Check in on AA.com (or AA.com Mobile). Choose "Email with Mobile Option" and select the appropriate email box for your mobile device. Don't forget, you can also check in from our app and your mobile boarding pass will be stored for you.

Check your email from your mobile device. Follow the link on the email to retrieve your Mobile Boarding Pass.

Save the boarding pass to your device. Click the "Save Boarding Pass" button directly below the barcode to save it to your phone for easy access at the security checkpoint (check your phone/PDA manual to locate where the Boarding Pass will save).

Proceed to Security. When you arrive at security, make sure the entire barcode is visible on the screen of your mobile phone or mobile device and have the backlight setting set to the brightest mode possible. If you have any problems, you will be given the opportunity to print a paper boarding pass at the Self-Service machines.
