FAQs About Flying With Your Luggage on American Airlines

Does American Airlines deliver delayed baggage?

Yes. In the event that your luggage misses your flight, American Airlines will deliver your delayed baggage once it arrives at the destination airport.

Will American Airlines deliver luggage?

Yes. For passengers that don’t need immediate access to their baggage upon arrival, you may opt to have American Airlines deliver your luggage to your destination for an additional fee. American Airlines will utilize a 3rd-party service to transport your baggage. You’ll be charged per bag and occasionally a per-mile fee will be included as well. Delivery is limited, servicing within 100 miles of the airport only.

Can I check my baggage online with American Airlines?

You can check baggage online after checking in for your flight. You will only have 24 hours and up to 4 hours before departure to pay for your checked baggage. With ShipGo, you can book and pay as far ahead in advance as you’d like.
