Question
Im traveling to Nevis from Pittsburgh intl.  My flight from Pittsburgh to Philadelphia is on US air with only 50 minutes between when I land and when I board.  My second flight is from Philadelphia to San Juan on American.  My question : Do I have to check in at the main counter each time I arrive and use a different airline or will US air (my first airline) print me out all of my travel tickets for each airline.
Thanks for the help

Answer
Dear Aaron,

Since your itinerary involves an "interline" travel, you have to check-in with AA. If US Air codeshares with American Airlines in the leg PHL-SJU, US Air can produce the boarding cards for this leg. This will also apply for baggage.

Also, a good idea is to check-in with American via Internet. See the below link:

At PHL US Air will arrive on terminal B/C and American departs from terminal A east, according to PHL Airport website.

Best Regards,
