When departing from India, such as Delhi Airport (DEL) or Mumbai Airport (BOM), American Airlines offers several check-in options to ensure a smooth start to your journey.

Airport Counter Check-In

For international departures, American Airlines advises arriving at the airport no later than 3 hours before your scheduled flight. Check-in counters generally operate from 3 to 4 hours prior to departure and close 60 minutes before the flight. All check-in formalities and baggage drop must be completed within this time frame.

Online and Mobile Check-In

Online check-in is available through the American Airlines website or mobile app starting 24 hours before departure. During this process, you can choose seats, pay for baggage, and access your digital boarding pass. For international departures from India, travelers may still need to visit a check-in counter for passport and document verification.

Self-Service Kiosks

At certain Australian airports, American Airlines provides self-service kiosks for check-in, printing baggage tags, and issuing boarding passes. Availability of these kiosks can differ by airport location.

Required Travel Documents

Carry a valid passport, applicable visa, and any required health documentation. For Australian passport holders, entry into the United States generally requires either an ESTA or a U.S. visa.

Baggage Drop & Boarding

After completing check-in, proceed to the baggage drop counter, followed by security and immigration clearance. Boarding usually commences about 45 minutes before departure.

Check-in procedures and timelines may differ, particularly if your flight is operated by a partner carrier such as Qantas Airways. Verify the details with American Airlines or your booking confirmation before traveling.
