American Airlines Jumps on the iPhone App Bandwagon

July 27, 2010 at 10:31 AM | by | Comments (2)

Fresh from the major update of the British Airways iPhone app comes a new one from American Airlines.

Released just yesterday on iTunes, the free American app does quite a bit more than just monitor your flights and allow you to purchase more from AA; it's got Sudoku! No really, it does. But aside from Sudoku, the new app allows you to check in to your flight, monitor your place on the standby list, track your frequent flyer miles, view maps of the airport terminal and use a mobile boarding pass (on select flights). Non-flight-related features include taking and storing a picture of your car's parking spot and recording other airport parking information.

All in all, it's a pretty solid app for an airline, especially with our new favorite feature: mobile boarding passes.

Way to go, American! Now let's see more US airlines than just American and Southwest come out with great smartphone apps.

Looks Nice...

I just wish I had as many miles as Joe Traveler...jealous.

Nice Job!

Nothing revolutionary, but I like the Sudoku. It is important for the airlines to provide "out of flight" entertainment.
