Award First and Baggage
I know if you book first class you do not have to pay for baggage. What happens if you book a First class award ticket....is baggage free?

What is the fee for a single traveller on an F award ticket to check in three pieces of luggage on a domestic ticket? Thanks!

$100 each way. At that price, depending on where you're going, you might just be better off buying a ticket for a friend to come along! (Or, of course, not bring a third bag).

Given your FT username, you might be well served to also look at the aa.com sports equipment page since ski gear incurs fees separate from the regular baggage allowance.
