Overview Hop on board an American Airlines flight, and you'll be on one of the world's biggest airlines. Like all airlines, you're allowed to carry items onto the plane without having to check them through as baggage. To protect passengers' safety and comfort, American Airlines limits the number, size and contents of carry-on bags. Number of Bags You are allowed one personal item and one carry-on bag when you board your American Airlines flight. A personal item can be a purse, a backpack or a similar item. Sizes and Weight Your personal item can have a maximum dimensional length of 36 inches. Dimensional length is the sum of the object's length, height and width. The carry-on bag can have a maximum dimensional length of 45 inches and may weigh up to 40 pounds. TSA-Approved Contents All items in your carry-on bag and personal item must adhere to the restrictions imposed by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). For example, sharp objects such as razor blades and meat cleavers, as well as potentially flammable or explosive items such as flares or gas torches, are strictly banned.

You also cannot take on bottles of liquid larger than 3.4 ounces, though exceptions are made for medication and baby formula. kelty 2300 backpackThese restrictions are modified as new security alerts are released. roots backpack costco warrantyContact the TSA toll-free at (866) 289-9673 for further information. samsonite ict backpack 41Medical Exceptions Medical exceptions to carry-on bag restrictions and limits are allowed for those with a diagnosed medical problem. backpack recipe h1z1For example, you are allowed to bring an oxygen tank despite its size and explosive compressed contents. mavrik backpack

For example, travelers flying within the United States can bring liquids on board if they were purchased from within the secure concourse, while those flying to China, India and Japan cannot. Consult American Airlines for the latest policy amendments if you are flying outside of North America. Pets American Airlines allows you to carry-on your dog or cat as a substitute for your standard carry-on bag. This practice is governed by American Airlines' pet policy. In general, your carrier must meet various size and structure requirements set by the airline and must weigh 20 pounds or less with your pet in it.
