American Airlines Unveils Boarding Technology To Curb Line Cutters Ahead Of Holiday Rush

American Airlines is expanding its boarding technology to more than 100 airports in the U.S. ahead of the holiday season that will allow the boarding process to run smoothly by ensuring that line cutters get called out.

In a press release on Wednesday, the airline stated that if a customer would board before their assigned group is called, the new software will make an audible sound, which would then alert the gate agent, indicating that the group has not been called yet. At the same time, the system will not be accepting the boarding pass. The customer would just have to wait for his turn until the boarding group where he belongs is called.
