Yes, American Airlines allows passengers to bring one free carry-on bag, along with one personal item, on most flights. The personal item (such as a purse or small backpack) must fit under the seat in front of you, while the carry-on bag should meet the following size limits:
- Carry-On Bag Size: It must not exceed 22 x 14 x 9 inches (including handles and wheels).
- Personal Item Size: It should fit under the seat and be no larger than 18 x 14 x 8 inches.
However, if you have a Basic Economy ticket on American Airlines, you are only allowed a personal item unless you are flying on a transatlantic or transpacific route, in which case a free carry-on bag is also included.
Be sure to check your fare type and route to confirm what you’re allowed to bring.
