Question
Hello. Next week we will be going to London. We are also going to buy some
Carry on luggage. The airline is American Airlines. Most carry on luggage is
about 21 to 22 inches long. Is there any restriction on that and also the weight
of the carry on?  Thanks

Answer
Dear Salvatore,

If I understood you correctly, you want to buy "extra" cabin baggage.

If this is the case, you're only intitled to carry only ONE BAG with total dimensional measures of 114 cm (lenght+width+height).

For additional checked baggage, you'll need to contact your airline reservations for details.

Best Regards,
