You must be at the gate and ready to board the plane:

• 15 minutes before departure on domestic flights

Be sure to check your boarding pass for boarding times. If you're not at the gate in time, your seat may be given to a standby passenger.

The doors close at least 10 minutes before departure. Once the door is shut, it will not be reopened unless there is health, safety or security issue.

Checking a bag - it used to be 30 minutes but I think its either 45 or 60 min prior now. I don't know for sure.

You should leave for the airport now.

The funny thing about AA at Easterwood is that they have one employee at the airport (or at least used to). Saw on several occasions that the same person checking you in at the ticket counter would migrate to be the gate agent. Then you look out the window after boarding and the same person is wearing a yellow vest heaving bags on.

Yah back in my days at A&M (90s) you sometimes also saw Continental/AA employees helping with each others flights, guess there wasn't much else to do.
