At the end of the day, OP knew when they purchased the ticket (with miles) for another person who was not an AA elite or flying in first the flyer should be charged for the bag.

I am not sure how you guys keep saying it is outside the CoC. It is listed right below the words AA CoC.

It does not state in the CoC page what the allowance is

Why would there not be a fee?
The bag fee is dependant on the traveler's status/class of service, etc. Who bought the ticket is irrelevant.
I think the reservation computer gets confused when a FF with status uses miles to get a ticket for a non-frequent flyer.
Either way, the agent was correct on the fee.

If you want to argue (based on I dont know what) they 'those take you outside the CoCs', do you work for AA legal or web design??
On the CoC page it says:
These conditions cover all of your rights and responsibilities as a passenger on flights operated by American Airlines. Weve simplified this contract to make our policies clearer and easier to understand.

Hi,
Is anyone able to confirm whether the 12 hour rule for short checking luggage on a ticket with an overnight connection, referred to earlier on in this thread, is still in effect?
Specifically, if I fly on a BA issued ticket but AA flight and flight no., from the US to LHR overnight, when the ticket includes a connection (not a stopover) to a European destination on BA, and the BA flight is timed for the day after the AA flight arrives and >12 but <24 hours later, can I be sure of being allowed to check the bags to LHR only?
Thanks in advance for any assistance!
