For any passenger who intends to travel in the next few days by plane, taking an American Airlines flight, he should not forget to check what is the baggage allowance on the United States airline.

    – Hand Baggage Allowance

It is the baggage that is placed in the baggage compartments, in the cabins of American Airlines aircraft,

The hand luggage that can be carried on American Airlines is: A suitcase or a backpack of maximum 56 x 36 x 23 cm and a bag containing a personal item of maximum 45 x 35 x 20 cm that you can place under the seat.

If you plan to transport liquids in your cabin baggage, you should know that the container must not exceed 100ml per bottle. You are entitled to up to ten cans which must be kept in a transparent plastic bag.

    – Checked Baggage: What are the American Airlines regulations in terms of weight/dimensions

The checked baggage that can be carried on American Airlines largely depends on the flight, the economy class you have booked, the seasonal period in which you are traveling and the destination of the trip. You will therefore need to check in advance what your flight allows you to take.

Imagine that American Airlines gives you the right to carry up to five checked bags. Is it free or paid? It depends firstly on the price of your flight, and secondly on your destination. This is possible whether you are traveling on a domestic, transatlantic or transpacific flight.

As an exception, you cannot check more than five pieces of baggage if you are flying to a destination in Mexico, the Caribbean, or a country in Central or South America including Brazil.

Basically, wherever you are traveling (unless you want to or take off from an airport in Australia or New Zealand), you can have a bag that:

• Weighs 23kg (50lbs)
• Measurement: 128cm (60 in).

If, on the other hand, you book in First or Business Class, you have access to a baggage allowance of 1x32kg.

For passengers boarding flights served from or to Australia or New Zealand, these have an improved allowance: 1 x 32kg.

Flying with American Airlines: Buying extra baggage online

Is your luggage oversized or overweight? Do not worry because American Airlines offers you the possibility of improving the initial baggage allowance, offered when booking your plane ticket. So you can carry as many suitcases and pieces, and with the weight or size you want by paying extra.

What is the best suitcase size to carry your luggage?

You already have your luggage list and now you need to choose the right suitcases to hold your things and transport them with the greatest possible comfort.

First of all, you have to measure the capacity you need, the measures that are suitable depending on the type of transport that will take you to your destination, the people who make up the shipment, the ease of dragging luggage through airports or stations, transport on bags which you will not be charged for, the rigidity or elasticity of the material of the suitcases depending on the fragility of what you are transporting, etc.

If you’re traveling by plane, keep in mind the restrictions and regulations on liquids, electronic devices, weight and measurements allowed.

In hand luggage, in addition to considering the appropriate measures depending on the type of transport you will use, try to make good use of its capacity without excess weight so that it is comfortably bearable. A very heavy backpack can leave your back in the dust.
