While last-minute American Airlines sale fares may become available, you’ll generally find it pays to plan ahead, especially if you’re booking long-haul international flights! Most airlines release tickets around 11 months in advance, and as a rough guide, we recommend booking your American Airlines flights between six and nine months before you fly. When it comes to balancing flexible travel dates with the best savings, this should give you the best of both worlds!
We know there’s nothing more frustrating than seeing the American Airlines tickets you just booked go on sale, so consider adding our Captain’s Pack when booking in-store or our Online Captain’s Pack when booking online for Price Drop Protection options and other benefits.
When flying with American Airlines, you can generally bring one personal item (45 cm x 35 cm x 20 cm) and one carry-on bag (56 cm x 36 cm x 23 cm) on board with you.
Checked baggage may be included in your American Airlines airfare depending on your ticket. Checked bags typically have a weight limit of 23kg (or 32kg for flights to and from Australia or New Zealand) and a maximum linear dimension of 158cm. The linear dimension of your bag is calculated by adding the height, length and width (including wheels and handles).
Remember, baggage allowances will vary based on your flight itinerary, ticket class and loyalty program status, so make sure you check your specific American Airlines tickets to see what’s included. Need to add extra baggage to your flight booking? Talk to your Travel Expert before take-off.
