During booking: On AA.com or the app, after selecting your flights, you’ll reach an “Extras” page. Here, check the baggage section to purchase additional pieces (e.g., second checked bag or extra weight). Charges vary by destination and fare type.

After booking: Log in to “My trips,” select your reservation, and use “Add Bags” to pay for extra checked baggage. You can also do this via the app. This option typically ends a couple of hours before departure.

If having trouble online, call ☎️ +1 866‑596‑5078 (OTA) or ☎️ +1 866‑228‑7814 (OTA). For bookings through a third‑party, use ☎️ +1 866‑756‑4238 (OTA) or ☎️ +1 844‑833‑1054 (OTA). They can manually add bags to your reservation.

At the airport: You can also add bags at the kiosk or ticket counter, but fees there are often higher than pre‑paid online. So, it’s best to add them in advance.

Remember to check AA’s checked baggage allowance by fare class and destination, and review weight/size limits. Adding baggage early saves both money and stress before your trip.
