Advance Boarding pass PEK
Arriving PEK in T3 in May via CA @0530hrs and departing 12hrs later on AA to LAX(T2?) Using my AS FF#, so obtaining advance boarding pass seems impossible.
How can I obtain a BP to access T3 before check-in opens 10 hrs after my arrival? I don't really want to go into the city to pass the time - would much rather go to a club.
Thanks in advance for any work-around on this issue

What you describe works for domestic travel, but international always seems to require "live" check in.

Trust me you’ll be wanting to climb walls if you stay in PEK for longer than the absolutely necessary, and that means two hours from entering the airport door.
Get on the 25 Yuan airport city train if you don’t have luggage and go walk around the city, get some local food etc. it’s much better than staying at the absurd lounges at PEK or anywhere in mainland China. Even a Starbucks will do better than that!
On topic AA doesn’t seem to issue online checkin passes ex-PEK so you might be out of luck. But there are kiosks at T2 where AA departs and I’ve been able to use them before, but it was about half a year ago. YMMV.
