American Airlines says their new boarding process, which includes NINE different groups, is helping to simplify the boarding process. Nine seems like a
lot – so we’re waiting to see how things play out before making a judgement call on whether it’s simple or actually more complicated for passengers.
So, if you’re an American Airlines passenger, be sure to take note of which boarding group you’re in. The first four categories are categorized as
“priority boarding”. Those groups are:
First Class and Active Duty U.S. Military
Executive Platinum, oneworld Emerald
Platinum Pro, Platinum, oneworld Sapphire
Gold, oneworld Ruby, Alaska Airlines
MVP, AirPass, Premium Economy, and Citi AAdvantage Executive card members, customers who purchased priority boarding.
