Can you still print boarding passes at the airport if you checked in online?
I'm flying to Tokyo. The flight was sold through Finnair. The first leg is operated by American Airlines. The second and final legs are operated by Finnair.
When I checked in online, it said that some airports on my journey (didn't say which one) don't allow mobile boarding passes?? Meaning I will need a physical copy.
Unfortunately I don't have easy access to a printer. Will I still be able to print all my boarding passes at the airport even though I already checked in online?
Best Answer
At the airport you can approach the American Airlines check-in counter to ask for a printed boarding pass; they will be happy to oblige.

Answer 2
Yes. I've done it many times in US and UK as I like to keep paper copies in scrap books etc. Theres normally many self service desks that you can do it from (if you state which airport you can usually look this up online too), or you can go to the desk of the airline you are travelling with and they will print it for you. It doesn't matter if you already checked in or not, most of the time the person on the desk has never mentioned it, and others they say that I've checked in already & ask if I want a paper copy. I think the only time I've ever had to actually explain was in Manchester Airport in the UK a few years ago, which wasn't a problem and they printed it fine.
If you really don't want to risk it you could always go to a public library or ask friends or family to print it for you. But any person on the check in desks will be able to print the boarding pass for you even if you have already checked in, people lose them or like you don't have access to printers so its common.
Answer 3
Yes, You can print your boarding pass at the airport.
From the Finnair FAQ:
You may not need to print a boarding pass. Depending on the requirements of airport authorities, you will need to present a mobile boarding pass, a paper boarding pass printed out by you or a paper boarding pass picked up from the check-in desk.
You're thus able to print your boarding pass at the check-in desk in the airport.
From the American Airlines FAQ:
you can print a boarding pass before you head to the airport or from any self-service kiosk once you're there.
Enjoy your flight !
Answer 4
In the general case, especially for incumbents (i.e. not low-cost carriers), it's absolutely no problem at all.
In many cases, when you check-in your bags, they will print your boarding passes for you without you even asking. If they don't do it automatically, they will be able to do it for you on demand.
This is usually also the case when you (have to) use automated kiosks, or if you don't have any luggage to check-in.
Note however that some airlines (mostly low-cost carriers) will be a lot less flexible about that, and may even charge you to perform the operation in some extreme cases.
I don't foresee any problem at all in the case of AA.
