American Airlines Baggage Regulations
Here at Luggage and Leather we try to keep our customers as informed as possible when it comes to travel, it just makes finding that perfect bag that much easier. Although we try our best to keep everything up to date the airlines may change certain regulations without us knowing. We recommend that you always contact your carrier before your flight to verify that the same rules are in place. You may also want to visit the
American Airlines website
or their section on
Baggage
.
If you notice something that has changed or just have a question please send us an
