American Airlines Baggage Allowance

American Airlines Baggage Allowance

American Airlines allows passengers to bring the following items:

Checked Baggage

Economy Class:

- For most domestic flights, including flights to and from Canada, the Caribbean, and Central America, the standard baggage allowance is one personal item and one carry-on bag, both subject to size and weight restrictions, plus one checked bag.

- The maximum dimensions for checked bags are typically 62 inches (158 cm) in total linear dimensions (length + width + height) and a maximum weight of 50 pounds (23 kg).

- Some international destinations may have different baggage allowances, so it's advisable to check the specific rules for your flight.

Premium Cabins and Elite Status:

- Passengers traveling in premium cabins, such as Business Class or First Class, or those with AAdvantage elite status (e.g., Platinum, Platinum Pro, Executive Platinum) generally receive additional baggage allowances.

- The specific allowances may vary based on the fare class, destination, and elite status level. It is recommended to check the American Airlines website or contact the airline directly for detailed information.

Carry-on Baggage

Economy Class:

- Passengers in Economy Class are typically allowed one personal item and one carry-on bag.

- The personal item should fit under the seat in front of you, while the carry-on bag should fit in the overhead bin.

- Size restrictions for carry-on bags are usually around 22 x 14 x 9 inches (56 x 36 x 23 cm) including handles and wheels.

- It's essential to ensure that your carry-on bag meets the size and weight restrictions specified by American Airlines.

Premium Cabins and Elite Status:

- Passengers in premium cabins or with elite status may receive additional allowances for carry-on baggage.

- Again, the specific allowances can vary based on factors such as fare class, destination, and elite status level.

It's important to note that excess baggage fees may apply if you exceed the allowed number, size, or weight of bags. Additionally, baggage policies may change. It's always best to check your specific allowance for your itinerary by contacting their customer service team.
