American Airlines launches mobile boarding passes

American Airlines is now extending its mobile boarding pass option to a total of six airports nationwide, with the expectation to include more airports in the near future.

The process starts when customers check in via the American Web site and are given the option to receive boarding passes on their mobile phones. Upon selection of this option, users are sent an email with a Web link to the boarding pass which contains a 2-D barcode.
