In my experience, most international flights typically allow one checked bag.

Getting gold status on American Airlines is pretty simple if you use their shopping portal or similar methods.

This status will score you a free bag.

It’s likely a smarter move than using up one of your five slots in the 5/24 rule anyway.

I often travel from Frankfurt, Germany to the USA and back.

My airfare usually includes one bag.

However, on my last trip back, I had too much luggage and had to pay $95 for an extra bag.

I’m new to the American Airlines program and just got their credit card, so I’d really appreciate any tips on how to get upgrades.

Sure thing!

If you use American Airlines miles to book a flight that’s going anywhere outside of North America, you automatically get checked baggage included.

Plus, you can earn American Airlines miles by teaming up with partners like Bask Bank or BILT.
