Terms and conditions This content can be expanded


HOW DOES IT WORK?

 * You can pay for up to 3 checked bags (per person) before arriving at the
   airport. Multiple passengers traveling in the same reservation will need to
   select bags and check in at a kiosk together.
 * Pay during check-in on aa.com or in the app if it’s available for your trip.
 * You can pay for bags starting 24 hours and up to 4 hours before your
   scheduled departure. For departures from Dallas Fort Worth (DFW) or
   Washington Reagan (DCA), you can pay up to 2 hours before your scheduled
   departure.
 * You can't pay for bags online if you’re waitlisted, standing by for another
   flight, or had a flight disruption and you haven’t confirmed your new
   flights.
 * You can receive the best price available if you pay for bags online or in the
   app.
 * If you're checking more than 3 bags per person, additional bags must be added
   at the airport. Oversize, overweight and excess bag charges may apply.
 * Charges are calculated based on standard bag sizes for flights, per person,
   each way.
 * You can pay for bags online ahead of time when traveling on eligible American
   Airlines marketed and operated flights.
 * Combined bag fees for multiple passengers: Passengers traveling together in a
   single reservation with multiple bags will receive the best online bag prices
   applied across all passengers
 * Other special bags with a specific charge (i.e. cabin pets) require payment
   at the airport.
 * Standard baggage terms, conditions and liability standards still apply.
 * American Airlines reserves the right to change the rates, terms and
   conditions at any time before payment, with or without notice.

WHAT IF I CHANGE MY FLIGHT?

If you take a different domestic flight than your original flight, you will need
to pay for checked bags on your new trip.


CAN I GET A REFUND?

request a refund in full to the original form of payment.
