4. If you only have carry-on, check in online

24 hours prior to your flight on aa website, print or put your boarding pass on your phone, and skip the line to check in at the airport. Go directly to TSA line. If you have to check baggage, it will be the AA counter, but check in online ahead of time anyway, just in case it's a long line at the counter, to preserve your seat assignment.

When you return, you will clear Customs and Immigration in Vancouver, not in the US. So plan extra time at the Vancouver airport.
