Can I bring a personal item along with my carry-on bag?

Asked 6 months ago
Yes, passengers flying with American Airlines are permitted to bring a personal item along with their carry-on bag. The personal item is typically a purse, briefcase, laptop bag, or a similar item that can be stowed under the seat in front. It should not exceed the maximum dimensions specified by the airline, which are usually around 18 x 14 x 8 inches. This additional item is allowed in addition to the carry-on bag that can be stored in the overhead bin. Passengers must ensure that their personal item is within the allowed size limits and complies with any weight restrictions as specified by American Airlines' baggage policy to avoid any additional fees or inconveniences during their travel.
