American Airlines is set to implement further changes to its boarding procedures starting next month. The Texas-based airline will introduce enhancements aimed at improving the experience for premium passengers.
The carrier disclosed that first and business class passengers will be allowed to pre-board from May 1, ahead of the busy summer travel period. According to an internal memo acquired by JonNYC, this preboarding privilege also extends to families with children under two, while ConciergeKey passengers and those needing special assistance will see no change in their boarding process.
The overall boarding procedure follows a tier system structured into nine groups, beginning with preboarding and then four priority groups for those holding higher AAdvantage tier statuses. The main cabin and basic economy passengers are assigned to the subsequent groups.
