For all those people who usually carry out short trips or do not require a large number of accessories, clothing or other objects, hand luggage has become the best option for transportation due to its practicality as well as the security it provides since, unlike checked baggage, it can be stored in the plane cabin.
However, and despite its importance in the lives of millions of travelers moving within the United States or outside the country, the airline American Airlines, one of the most important in this sector, has announced a series of changes and new rules regarding this luggage.
But, what changes will be made and when will they start to apply for travelers?
The new changes on American Airlines' hand luggage
According to the airline itself, changes regarding hand luggage will begin to be implemented in the coming months. However, and so far, an exact date has not been established.
Therefore, it is expected that the American company will release an official statement in the coming weeks in order for all its users to become familiar with the new rules as soon as possible and not be caught off guard by the changes.
Regarding the changes, the company has not mentioned what these new rules will be. However, it has been mentioned that the current measures on accepted hand luggage will be reduced.
As announced by the company itself, the reasons why it has decided to implement changes in the hand luggage are due to its goal of adapting to European standards.
Similarly, American Airlines seeks to reduce the amount of hand luggage on the plane so that passengers can travel more comfortably and the aisles can be more accessible and easier to navigate.
Likewise, and in the absence of an official announcement, this series of measures would also aim to avoid delays and conflicts during boarding, in addition to encouraging passengers to check their bags or luggage.
What are the current measures for American Airlines' hand luggage?
Currently, and pending the official change, American Airlines states that hand luggage must have a limit of up to 22 x 14 x 9 inches, including the wheels and handles of the luggage. Meanwhile, the personal item, the most basic item allowed by the airline to the passenger, must not exceed 18 x 14 x 8 inches.
