Heavy baggage, oversized, buy additional baggage allowance at low cost from American Airlines

The airline company American Airlines allows its passengers to check in a maximum of 4 pieces of luggage, for a maximum total weight of 32 kg (for each item). It is good to know that the price list of this company is established according to the weight transported (and not the number of luggage) ranging from 45 to 150 dollars for 15 kg to 50 kg additional.

These rates will be reduced if you buy your supplements online, from your Manage my reservation, on the website www.aa.com.

This rate is only valid if you book online before check-in. If you check your checked baggage at the airport counter, the rates are higher. For example, for nine extra kilograms, you pay 9 instead of 15 dollars. And for an additional 50kg, you pay 63 instead of 150 dollars.

The excess weight package does not apply when the total weight of checked baggage is less than or equal to the allowable allowance.

Luggage must respect the following maximum dimensions: 9 Inch (23cm) X 14 Inch (36cm) X 22 Inch (56cm).
Luggage must be light enough to fit in the overhead compartment. Hand baggage will be checked at check-in and at the boarding gate. If it does not meet the required dimensions, it will be placed in the hold at an additional charge. This measure is intended to enhance personal safety and that of other passengers, as well as comfort during the flight, as the capacity of the cabin baggage compartments remains limited.

Only one personal accessory is allowed in addition to hand luggage: handbag or laptop or tablet. Its size must respect the following maximum dimensions: 8 Inch (20 cm) x 13 Inch (35 cm) x 12 Inch (30 cm), in order to be placed under the seat.
