Checking cardboard box on AA domestic flight
« on: March 14, 2023, 08:36:00 PM »
Bringing a ton of stuff to family and don’t want to bother with an empty suitcase on the way back. Should I expect issues checking a box on an AA flight? Would love DP from someone who did recently.

You've checked this in and got it back undamaged?

Any pics of it folded?

Many times. It's a life saver for trips with one-way baggage.

Awesome. I've been looking for something that lasts more than 2 flights for a while now.

If you have a beaten up suitcase that you don't need anymore you can take that and then dump it.

Was it oversized or over weight?

Thanks to everyone who responded. AA took it, though they made me drop it off at oversized (even though it wasn’t).
