American Airlines changes carry-on baggage rules 

American Airlines announced a major update to its carry-on baggage rules effective from the upcoming Monday.

The new policy reportedly provides passengers with expanded allowances for carry-on items or less restrictive size/weight limits.

The big picture: American Airlines is eliminating its bag sizers from gates in an effort to improve the customer experience, reduce gate-checking hassles and speed up the boarding process. • Passengers may benefit from fewer fees or penalties related to carry-on bag dimensions and weight. • The policy may allow travelers to avoid checked baggage charges by bringing more on board. • American Airlines also plans enhanced training for gate agents to implement new rules smoothly.
