First MR Help - AA

I would like to do my first MR via AA on Feb. 23 or 24 utilizing AA's Chicago fly 3 deal. I would be departing from DFW to ORD and then from there onward. (I would love to get the 777 flights for the Intl. business cabin but it is impossible to nest a trip in between without staying overnite in Chicago).

Once I get to ORD, how do I obtain a boarding pass for the return? Do I have to leave security and check back in at the kiosk? Likewise, if I continue on to, lets say MSP, how do I get a BP?

Sorry, I am new to this... but, I would appreciate all of the help Thanks.

Assuming it's all the same day, you should be able to print BPs at home before leaving. Also, in Chicago, midway down both H and K concourses there are BP machines that you should be able to use--DISCLAIMER: I HAVEN'T ACTUALLY USED THESE, JUST SEEN THEM THERE--or you can go into the AC if you're a member, or any desk should be able to print BPs for you.

You can print them before you leave home. Look at this recent thread and you'll see how to do that and when to do it:

I've used the BP machines in H & K, and they work just fine, if you find yourself in ORD needing your BPs.

FIRST - MAKE SURE YOU REGISTER FOR THE PROMO.

sorry, but i hate to see people fly wasted flights when they think they are beating the system. you are new, so it seemed worth mentioning. if it's the 25th, i am on both dfw 777 flights.

Yep, I'm registered. Flying DFW-ORD-MSP-ORD-DFW Feb. 23 followed by DFW-ORD Feb. 24 (both 777's).

Thanks for mentioning the BP machines at ORD!

I've used them. Same as the departures hall ones.

not as part of the promotion...

from the t&c:

To qualify, Chicago O'Hare (ORD) must either be the trip origination or destination city. Connecting travel via Chicago will not qualify.
