Sources of Information

• There are several places to check your flight gate information. First, look on your ticket. Then, double check your gate on the main boards visible throughout the airport. Finally, if you are still unsure, head to a customer service counter for help.
  
  

Technology

• You can avoid having to check boards and wait in customer service lines by receiving updates through e-mail or your mobile phone. Check the American Airlines website to receive gate information by entering your flight number and flight date. When purchasing your ticket, you can also sign up to receive updates through text messages on both your flight status and any gate changes.
  
  

Considerations

• American Airline suggests arriving early to your gate to avoid any problems. It is recommended that you are checked in approximately 60 minutes before your departure time for domestic flights. For international flights, you should check in approximately 210 minutes before your flight departs.
