American Airlines Carry-on Luggage Rules

American Airlines carry-on baggage rules allow one carry-on bag and one personal item. The maximum size for your American Airlines carry-on luggage is 22.0 × 14.0 × 9.0 in (approx 55 × 35 × 22 cm). There are no official weight limits for carry-on bags, but you must be able to lift your bag into the overhead bin; this is represented by the code --.

Your American Airlines personal item, such as a purse, small backpack, or laptop bag, must fit under the seat in front of you and should not exceed 18.0 × 18.0 × 8.0 in (approx 45 × 45 × 20 cm). Note that on regional flights operated by American Eagle, overhead bin space may be limited; your carry-on baggage may need to be valet checked at the gate, free of charge, except on Embraer ERJ-175 aircraft.
