New AAdvance Bag Check Program

[FA Mikey]

The service is currently available onboard ships at various cruise lines, including Royal Caribbean, Celebrity and Norwegian, as well as at hotels and various convention centers throughout the United States. Travelers can check in and drop off their luggage for their American, American Eagle and AmericanConnections® airline domestic flight up to 24 hours in advance at the AAdvance Bag Check station. Baggage is then transported directly to the departure airport and passengers do not have to deal with their luggage until they land at their final destination.

In addition to checking in their luggage, passengers also receive their boarding passes, allowing them to go directly to security screening when they arrive at the airport.

The development of the AAdvance Bag Check program started in the Spring 2005, when American tested this service with various cruise lines. In addition to the cruise line service, the program is currently available in more than 34 locations, including:

* 19 Disney resorts and hotels in Orlando, Fla.
* McCormick Place Convention Center in Chicago, Ill.
* Moscone Center in San Francisco
* Hilton Grand Vacation Club in Honolulu
* Hyatt Regency in Dallas


Will be a good thing for Miami. WED, SAT and SUN seeing the buses lined up and loaded with people and their bags. Take's alot of time and space in front of the terminal, to unload.

This service has been in MIA/FLL for over a year now. It has worked quite well. Now let's see if the product can spread its wings into new markets.

I think the answer is yes if you are traveling domestically.
