Question 1

What is American Airlines's stroller policy?

Accepted Answer

American Airlines is one of the best US carriers for strollers. Any fully collapsible pushchair that fits the overhead bin can come onboard and does not count toward your carry-on allowance. Gate check is free for one stroller per ticketed child. The one catch: if you are also carrying a car seat, only one of the two can be gate-checked. The other goes at the counter.
