Carry-On Baggage

On an American Airlines trip, you are allowed one piece of carry-on luggage and one small personal item that can fit under the seat in front of you. This might be anything from a wallet and keys to a briefcase and laptop bag. The maximum dimensions for carry-on bags are 56cm x 36cm x 23cm.

Checked baggage

Each passenger is allowed to check ten bags on flights within the United States, over the Atlantic, and across the Pacific. If you're flying to, from, or within Mexico, the Caribbean, Central America, South America, or Brazil, you can check up to 5 bags at no extra cost. However, these routes have seasonal and yearly luggage restrictions, so keep that in mind.
Economy passengers may check one piece of baggage on domestic flights for $30. For a second piece, the charge is $40, the third is $150, and any additional baggage is charged at $200.
On transatlantic flights, Economy passengers can check one piece of baggage at no charge. Should passengers need to book any additional checked baggage, there is a charge of $100 for the first additional piece and $200 for any additional pieces.
In some cases, you won’t have to pay the baggage fees for up to 3 bags if you are eligible.

If the combined dimensions of your checked bags are more than 158 centimeters or if they weigh more than 23 kilograms, you may incur additional fees. These costs are non-negotiable and are assessed for each passenger in both directions.
If you're flying First or Business Class or have an Executive Platinum or Oneworld Emerald status, you can check up to 32 kilograms of baggage at no extra charge. Please be aware that American Airlines does not permit passengers to bring on board any bags that exceed 320 centimeters in any direction or 45 kilograms in total weight.

Exceptional Baggage

Special restrictions, exceptions, and charges can apply when traveling with exceptional baggage such as sports equipment or a musical instrument. Restrictions and charges are variable according to the particular item and route traveled.

Online Check-in

You can check in online or from the app starting 24 hours before and up to 45 minutes before departure (90 for international). To check in and check bags at the airport, you must be there a certain amount before scheduled departure: Within the U.S. – 45 minutes.

Fleet

The American Airlines fleet is the largest in the world, comprising 930 mainline aircraft from both Boeing and Airbus. American Airlines is currently in the process of the most extensive fleet renewal in its history, with an additional 159 aircraft on order from Airbus and Boeing.
Over 80% of America's aircraft are narrow bodies, mainly the Airbus A320 and the Boeing 737 family. It is the world's largest A320 family aircraft operator and the largest operator of the A319 and A321 variants. It is the fourth-largest operator of 737 family aircraft and the second-largest operator of the 737-800 variant.
American's wide-body aircraft are all Boeing airliners. It is the third-largest operator of the Boeing 787 series and the sixth-largest operator of the Boeing 777 series. America exclusively ordered Boeing aircraft throughout the 2000s.[ This strategy shifted on July 20, 2011, when America announced the largest combined aircraft order for 460 narrow-body jets, including 260 aircraft from the Airbus A320 family. Additional Airbus aircraft joined the fleet in 2013 during the US Airways merger, which operated nearly all of Airbus's fleet.
