Hello all,

My friend works who works for American Airlines offered to give me 3 D3 buddy passes for an upcoming trip. This will be my first experience using buddy passes. What can I expect at check in? How do I get on a flight? How can I register for first class? Currently my plan is to leave ORD on 6/11/14 for AUS. I would then leave AUS for LAX on 6/13/14. Finally, I would leave LAX on 6/15/14 for ORD. How feasible is it to get a seat on a flight during these days? Also, any other tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You
