AA Baggage charges

[danR]

We flew AA today out of LGA and they did not charge us for checked bags, I wasn't exactly going to ask why. Anyone know what the deal is

I am looking to book a trip with AA from Israel, is there anyway that I can get 2 pcs. per person? I am not AA Gold.

[moish]

aa doesnt fly to/from israel

[Aben]

aa doesnt fly to/from israel

They have partners that do and I would be booking it on AA.com

[md]

AFAIK you can't book Israel- US online at AA.com.

[YOSEF]

Even if you could book it, I am pretty sure it goes by metal, not ticket stock.

[moish]

regardless, flying intl entitles you to free luggage

[isac]

if i have an citibank AA advantage platinum elite card, do i get any baggage allowance?

[moish]

im pretty sure that doesnt give you any luggage

[isac]

even the platinum "elite" (not the reg. plat.)?

[moish]

whats the difference? isnt all platinum, platinum elite?

[isac]

No.
I have platinum world and my father has plat. elite world (thats their highest level, higher annual fee....)

Anyone knows how many pieces of luggage is allowed when traveling domestically in First AA (booked with awards)? Also, what's the weight limit?

(sorry if this has been posted already, I couldn't find 'em) Thanks!

i think 3x50 or 70

After more searching I found on AA's website that FC is allowed 3 pieces of luggage, but the million dollar question remains the weight limit..? I called AA, one Rep said 2x50 the next one said 3x50, but I clearly remember I flew last year the same route, same class, and was allowed 3x70!

We're 3 people traveling, and we can use those extra 20 lb. per luggage! (It totals 180 lb.)
