Whether you’re traveling to visit loved ones or making one last business deal, we want to make sure that your checked bags arrive with you at your destination this busy travel season. For that reason, American Airlines and American Eagle will implement limitations on checked baggage and boxes for all southbound flights November 23, 2013 – January 8, 2014.
Please note:
The cities designated with an asterisk have year-round limitations in place.
For the destinations identified below, boxes and excess, overweight (more than 70lbs/32kgs.), or oversized pieces will not be accepted for transportation. Bags weighing 51-70 lbs. (23.1-32kgs) will be accepted with the collection of an applicable charge.
A „box” is defined as a six-sided container of any size, constructed of cardboard, wood, plastic or metal, which is either square, rectangular or cylindrically shaped and is not normally used for the transportation of items associated with air travel. Plastic tubs/containers and/or coolers are also considered to be boxes.
You are welcomed to check a maximum of two pieces which must be within the size and weight limits as follows:
- 1st piece – up to 62 dimensional inches and 50 lbs. (70 lbs. for Brazil) or up to 157cms and 23kgs (32kgs for Brazil)
- 2nd piece – up to 62 dimensional inches and 50 lbs. (70 lbs. for Brazil) or up to 157cms and 23kgs (32kgs for Brazil)
To determine the dimensional measurement, add the length, width and height of an item.
You may bring one carry-on bag and one personal item onboard unless otherwise stated. Carry-on items may only be up to 45 dimensional inches (22x14x9) and must fit comfortably into the bag sizer. For more information, please see our Carry-on Allowance page.
