American Airlines launches mobile websiteJet-setters looking to quickly check in and manage their American Airlines itinerary can rest easy. American Airlines has recently launched a mobile version of their website that allows travelers on-the-go to check their flight status, itinerary, check-in, etc. directly from their mobile phone.

Of course, you’ll need access to a web-browser to access the American Airlines mobile webpage, but chances are your handset is good to go – most handsets worth their salt these days have data-capabilities. Simply visit American Airlines’ website (AA.com) from your mobile phone or PDA, and the website will detect your mobile browser and serve up the streamlined version of the website.

Later this year, American Airlines will also be launching an enhanced version of their mobile site. The new version will add features, allowing customers to book flights, change reservations, and even check for hot deals. And, Spanish-speaking fliers will be happy to to hear that a Spanish version will be launched later this year.

Combined with the electronic, mobile phone-based boarding passes starting to take-off (see what we did there?), it looks like the airline industry is finally catching up with the times.
