American Airlines restricts baggage allowance to Ecuador

American Airlines restringió the franchise or núgrouper suitcases that passengers can transport to Ecuador (Guayaquil and Quito).

known as «embargo», It is a procedure that the aerosolsíimposed on certain markets in the face of operational situations or restrictions that are generated, for example, high season weekend tripsñO, where travelers tend to carry más suitcases than normal.

Our Ecuadorian market is particularly important in terms of the amount of suitcases what we transport, so it is not the first time that an aerolínea performs this type of protectionón and su operationón.

¿CuáHow many suitcases can I carry on American Airlines from / to Ecuador?

the key question, that we must begin by remembering that dependingá initially for the fare you have chosen for your trip.

  • Some rates include one piece of luggage and others as a category.íBusiness two suitcases.

With this premise we can define that the current restrictionónumber of suitcases to fly on American Airlines to Ecuador is the following:

  • Mámaximum two suitcases per passenger.
  • Each piece of checked baggage must have a weight máximo of 32 kg/70 lb, así as dimensions mágems of 158 cm/62 in. The overweight charge applies to luggage that weighs more thanás de 23 kg/50 lb, when traveling in the Main Cabin.
  • hand luggage: Passengers can bring on board 1 hand luggage and 1 artípersonal ass.

This means, that theí the user is willing to pay for a third suitcase, there is no optionón to do it, the límite is two.

Así, the airínea avoidá log problemsífees for transporting baggage in the hold, that on some occasions, given the high demand, must have stayed and delayed for a few daysíace in his final arrival to his ownersñthem Guayaquil O Quito.

Although this measure is not new and has already been implemented for a few weeks,ón, I looked likeó important to update and inform for all those who areán prólet's fly with American Airlines or were they looking at it as an alternative.

Finally, let's remember that every aerosolínea manages its own policiesíethics and restrictions, that generally for our market are activated temporarily, but in specific caseífico analyzed today, appears as permanent in the until 6 daily flights handled by the company.

Don't forget to check the luggage restrictions that your airlineínea is in force from or to your final destination.

  1. Well, the truth is that for many people it will be a problem to limit the weight of the suitcases. Now they will have to buy large suitcases but weigh little, or always put the essential. I would recommend buying a new suitcase, to buy suitcases I always recommend reading comparisons on the internet. i always do that, Above all, I let myself be guided by comparative websites such as best travel bags., Without a doubt, this is the best website to compare suitcases on the market..

  2. It's a shame that the quality of American Airlines has gone further,I think it is better to travel on other airlines since American is not giving the best service to its customers and I think this will end in passengers choosing another airline like Eastern, Delta and even United because the truth is that American's current service seems bad to me. Good post and good information too bad it's for bad.

    1. I recommend Delta among the American airlines that fly to Ecuador. I recently traveled on Delta from Quito to New York via Atlanta. Delta service is very good, even got awards for it.

  3. Very good article, especially for this time of year. Those who have traveled on Christmas Eve must have felt this problem firsthand when a piece of luggage does not arrive at its destination until after several days.. This problem becomes bigger when you do not live in Quito or Guayaquil and you have to travel from other cities in the country..

  4. That happens in American that gives terrible service, breaks schedules, cancels flights and finally only one suitcase and does not even allow paying for the second one in this epic because smaller planes fly like 737-800 in czz ace moved Eastern flies 767 wide cabin and large holds allows up to four suitcases upon payment, yes, but they have space to do so American punishes passengers and gives very bad service on board and on the ground

    1. Many are not going to like being
      Limit luggage weight, but it is more unpleasant that the luggage remains due to lack of weight capacity or space in the holds. If other airlines do not restrict it, then they will be advantaged over those who have it, always make sure to check the baggage restrictions before deciding to buy the service in one or another airline.
