does this mean that we don't get free checked luggage on Eagle?? i didn't realize this haha. i have a flight booked where i come back to hnl from san instead of lax cuz it was like 150bux cheaper, but the first leg is a san-lax on Eagle. does this mean i'm paying for my bags? whoops...
AA elites do not get a free checked luggage allowance on AS. AA elites do have a free checked luggage allowance on MQ flights flown for AA (currently all of them).
