Benefits of the American Airlines Five Star Service

American Airlines Five Star Service is perfect for travelers seeking to enhance their airport experience and reduce stress. It offers additional benefits like priority check-in — including access to the Flagship First Check-In where applicable — quicker security screening, entry to the Admirals Club, personal assistance to and from the gate, pre-boarding privileges, priority re-accommodation during delays, and much more.

While you can enjoy benefits like priority boarding with a cobranded credit card, having access to the exclusive Flagship First Check-In area, expedited security, and a dedicated representative can be incredibly advantageous. These perks are especially helpful for families needing extra assistance at the airport or for those who wish to socially distance more effectively.
