Can I bring a backpack as a personal item on American Airlines?

What are the pros and cons of checking a bag versus carrying it on?

Carrying on saves time at baggage claim and reduces the risk of lost luggage. However, carry-on bins can fill up quickly, and you might have to check it anyway. Checking a bag means you don't have to worry about size limits for the main cabin, but you wait at baggage claim. We can help you figure out what works best for your trip.

What if I have a special item like a guitar as a carry-on for American Airlines?

American Airlines has specific policies for musical instruments. Some larger instruments might need to be checked or transported in a special way. It's best to check their website or call them directly well in advance. We can help you find local services that might offer advice.
