American Airlines Updates Pet Policy, Allows Additional Carry-On

American Airlines has revised its pet policy to permit passengers to bring a pet and an additional carry-on, maintaining the $150 pet fee.

American Airlines announced a new pet policy allowing passengers to bring both a pet carrier and an additional carry-on item.
The pet fee remains at $150 each way, with no changes to this cost despite the policy update.
Previously, passengers were only allowed a small personal item alongside their pet carrier; larger items required a separate fee.
Experts recommend contacting airlines directly to understand specific pet policies and preparing pets for travel ahead of time.
The policy change aims to enhance convenience for passengers traveling with pets, amidst a broader trend of airlines adjusting pet travel regulations.
