AA announced today they're installing self-boarding equipment at JFK's gate 14 (Terminal 8) and will begin pax testing of the system November 1.
The system allows passengers to scan their own boarding pass, thereby opening a small gate and allowing the pax to proceed to the jetbridge. The system is designed to allow carry-on baggage through, but will sound an alarm if any pax attempts to piggyback.
