American Airlines Launches Premium Services for Elite Travelers

Business Travel News - This week, American Airlines launched a premium check-in and expedited security line for elite travelers passing through Los Angeles International Airport. These services will expand to other airports during 2012.

The new Flagship Check-in offering is available only members of AA's invite-only ConciergeKey program, purchasers of American's Five Star Service travel assistance offering and first-class passengers. Such customers will be "greeted by customer service representatives" who "personally assist with individual travel requirements, including check-in and baggage check, seat or itinerary changes and connecting flight information," according to AA. Customers then would have "immediate access to a designated separate security line, offering easy access through security checkpoints."
