Apart from the essential ingredients of the flying experience—the type of aircraft and seat, the quality of the service and how smooth the flight path is-details also play a role in that experience. That’s something executives at American Airlines have heard from customer surveys with the result a rollout of new onboard amenities due to take to the skies on over 300 international and transcontinental flights beginning Memorial Day weekend in Flagship® First Class, Flagship® Business Class and Premium Economy Cabins.
American Airlines just made it easier and cheaper to bring pets on flights
30.03.2024 - 22:05 / insider.com
American Airlines has streamlined its policy for passengers traveling with pets.
The airline is now allowing passengers to bring pets inside the cabin alongside a regular carry-on bag or a personal item, according to the Associated Press. However, passengers can not bring both a carry-on bag and a personal item.

Previously, passengers who traveled with a pet could only bring one small item that fit beneath the seat in front of them, the outlet reported. Larger carry-on bags had to be checked for a $35 fee on top of the standard $150 pet fee.
Carry-on pets refer to cats or dogs that meet the specified requirements for age, size, and destination, according to its policy. Pets can also be placed in American Airlines cargo.
"We made the change to provide a more convenient and comfortable experience to customers whose pets fly American," an American Airlines representative told AP.
Representatives for American Airlines did not immediately reply to a request for comment from Business Insider.
The latest policy update comes after American Airlines announced in February it will raise checked bag fees. One checked bag used to cost $30, and the second was $40. Now, the first checked bag for domestic flights is $35, and the second is $45.
The airline also changed how customers earn frequent flyer miles and loyalty points.

Getting to the Caribbean From the West Coast Is Now Easier Than Ever
Travelers who live on the West Coast of the United States have long bemoaned the lack of direct flights to the Caribbean from international airports in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland, and Seattle. Normally, flying to the Caribbean from the West Coast requires stopovers and plane changes in hubs like Atlanta, New York, Houston, or Miami. Between the time difference and the layovers, flying from the West Coast to the Caribbean can easily take at least a full day—or may even require an overnight stop. With closer warm-weather destinations like Mexico and Hawai‘i beckoning, many travelers in the Pacific time zone simply skip the Caribbean.
