What is American Airlines' policy on carry-on baggage?

Asked 6 months ago
American Airlines allows passengers to bring one personal item and one carry-on bag onboard. The personal item can be a purse, briefcase, laptop, or small backpack, while the carry-on bag should fit in the overhead bin or under the seat in front. The maximum dimensions for the carry-on bag are 22 x 14 x 9 inches (56 x 36 x 23 cm). Additionally, American Airlines provides specific exceptions for certain items like strollers, assistive devices, and FAA-approved child restraint systems. Passengers traveling in Basic Economy class can only bring a personal item and are not permitted to bring a carry-on bag unless they are an eligible AAdvantage® credit cardholder or have AAdvantage® elite status. It's recommended to review American Airlines' website for any updates or further details regarding carry-on baggage.
