| Winter Mexico, Latin America And Caribbean Checked Bag Limitations |
|
Whether you're traveling to visit loved ones or making one last business deal, we want to make sure that your checked bags arrive at your destination with you this busy holiday travel season. For that reason, American Airlines and American Eagle will implement limitations on checked baggage and boxes from November 21, 2009 - January 10, 2010.
For the destinations identified below, boxes† and excess, overweight (more than 70lbs.), or oversized pieces will not be accepted for transportation. Bags weighing 51-70 lbs. will be accepted with the collection of the applicable charge.
Passengers will be allowed to check a maximum of two pieces which must be within the size and weight limits as follows (dimensional measurements calculated by adding the length, width and height of an item):
- 1st piece - up to 62 dimensional inches and 50 lbs. (70 lbs. for Brazil)
- 2nd piece - up to 62 dimensional inches and 50 lbs. (70 lbs. for Brazil)
Carry-on items may only be up to 45 dimensional inches and 40 lbs.
