American Airlines / Personal item
45 × 35 × 20 cmNo general numeric weight cap recorded; check your flight.
What the allowance means
One personal item alongside a permitted carry-on; it must fit under the seat.
Before choosing a bag
Measure the packed exterior including wheels, handles and filled pockets. A model name, an empty photograph or a litre rating cannot confirm this allowance. Check the booked fare and operating airline for each segment.
The airline also publishes 18 × 14 × 8 inches. Published unit pairs may be rounded differently. Keep the source units when a bag is close to a boundary.
