American has just announced some changes to their checked baggage policy for premium cabin passengers.
Currently all American first & business class passengers receive three free checked bags,each weighing up to 70 pounds.
For tickets bought starting March 29, 2016, and passengers traveling in two cabin first class and in international business class will only receive two free checked bags.
Passengers traveling in international first class,as well as Executive Platinum members, will continue to get a third free checked bag.
American reasons that this is in line with the policies of their competitors, and which is indeed dependable. Delta and United allow their domestic first class and international business class passengers to check two bags weighing up to 70 pounds to most destinations,and I guess American thought they weren't seeing much of a return on their more generous policy.
