Security?

Thanks.
Being on an award ticket should not affect the check-in experience.

AA check-in counter lines at DFW rarely get very long compared to other hubs, I guess because there are so many counters (8? 10?) spread out across 4 terminals. I rarely check bags, and I use the elite line when I do, but it seems that when I've passed by the counters after 8pm, there's rarely anyone queued up. Security should be very quick too - except for holiday weekends and monday mornings, I can't remember the last time it took me more than 5-10 minutes to get thru.

And don't forget to call AA of check AA.com before you head to the airport to verify which terminal you will be leaving from.
