American Airlines Updates Carry-On Policy, Allowing Key Items at No Extra Charge
DALLAS, TX – American Airlines has clarified its carry-on baggage policy, confirming passengers can bring a range of essential items onboard without incurring additional fees. The updated guidelines, now in affect across the United States, aim to provide versatility for families and travelers with specific needs.
The policy change addresses concerns about hidden costs associated with air travel, especially for those traveling with young children or requiring medical equipment. While standard carry-on and personal item allowances remain, American Airlines will now permit passengers to transport items like diaper bags (per child), breast pumps, small coolers specifically for breast milk, safety seats, strollers, and medical or mobility devices at no extra cost. This move seeks to ease travel burdens and ensure accessibility for all passengers.
According to the airline’s updated guidelines, thes items are along with the standard carry-on baggage and personal item allowances. This means passengers are still limited to one carry-on bag and one personal item, but the listed items do not count against those limits.
The policy is particularly beneficial for parents traveling with infants and toddlers, allowing them to comfortably bring necessary supplies without facing unexpected charges. Similarly, individuals relying on medical or mobility devices can travel with greater ease, knowing their essential equipment won’t be subject to extra fees.
