Hello there, many thanks for the contributions.

Just reading this thread as I have an upcoming flight booked with AA miles on Qatar and am checking luggage allowances

I referenced the AA confirmation email but it doesn't clarify the checked bag (airport) allowance:

On the same place as highlighted in the red box,, it reads:

"Carry-on bags 1st carry-on Includes purse, briefcase, laptop bag, or similar item that must fit under the seat in front of you. 2nd carry-on Maximum dimensions not to exceed: 22" long x 14" wide x 9" tall (56 x 35 x 23 cm). Bag information For information regarding American Airlines checked baggage policies, please visit: Bag and optional fees Bag fees apply at each Check-in location. Additional allowances and/or discounts may apply. Bag and optional fees If your flight is operated by a partner airline, see the other airline’s website for carry-on and checked bag policies."

The links don't clarify re this particular situation

I've now contacted AA via DM on X/Twitter (they have previously been v responsive there) and am waiting for a reply

Any further info much appreciated! Thx
