AA Passenger Facial Cover / Mask Use Policy 2020 (Inc. changes)
AA has updated its mask / facial covering policy. Please see the Wikipost above.
Travel requirements
When you check-in you'll be asked to confirm you've been free of COVID-19 symptoms for the past 14 days. Staying home is the best way to protect yourself and others from getting sick.
Face coverings
A face covering is required while flying on American, except for children under 2 years old. If you decline to wear one, you may be denied boarding and future travel on American.
Keep in mind:- You should bring your own face covering to use while traveling. While limited quantities of face coverings may be available at the gate, they will not be available for every customer on every flight.
- You’re required to wear a face covering from the time you enter the airport where your trip begins until you leave the airport where your trip ends.
- A face covering can be a mask or any secured cloth that covers your nose and mouth and fits snugly under the chin.
- A face shield can be worn with a face covering, but not in place of one.
- Starting August 19, 2020, face coverings with exhaust valves or vents, or made with mesh or lace type fabric, will not be allowed.
- You can briefly take your face covering off to eat or drink, but you must put it back on when you’re done.
