American Airlines organizes passengers into boarding groups to ensure an orderly process so that travelers can avoid the hassle of boarding the flight. On top of that, the airline provides a broad range of nine boarding groups in which priority boarding starts with travelers who need special assistance or are flying with toddlers who are under 2 years old. Once these passengers can board, then the Group 1 American Airlines passengers can board, which includes AA executive platinum and active duty U.S. military members. Followed by Group 2 to Group 9, who can board the flight according to their fare class. For further insight about the boarding group, visit the official website of AA or follow the link to the blog.
