To celebrate the 30 years American Airlines is flying to the Dominican Republic in the month of October American Airlines will allow you to take an extra bag to the Dominican Republic. Sounds like great news.

Well if they did it in December it would be impossible for an a 300 to take off. They are generous but just up to a point. Cant ask for much.

where did you hear this and where can i check it out. We leave for the DR Tuesday and it would be terrific if we could bring an extra bag. We are planning a full time move in the very near future and this would be a great way to bring some stuff to leave.

Well this is something that came out very recently so i am not sure of how many people know about it but i know it because of American World Wide travel in the New York Area. Have some friends there. 212 568 1207 you can call them to confirm or just call any travel agent office in Washington Heights they will know about it.Bob K said:
According to the AA website, for tickets issued after October 1st, your allowed two checked bags to the DR.apdomini100max said:
Keep in mind the OP and the rest of airplane cabal shoot first and ask questions later - an unsubstantiated rumour from an unreliable source can make you look pretty stupid when you show up with three bags tomorrow. AA.com has absolutely nothing about this. $80 fee for that one extra bag is likely. More likely than AA doing this ever.
Also at times they embargo extra bags so you might show up and they just refuse it regardless of the extra fee or not.

WOULD you please tell us where u got this information because according to the american airline representatives your info is bogus. please inform us and then call AA and inform them where u got this info bc they are unaware of it as well.....
QUIT listening to him people. He's frequently wrong. End of story, no need to call AA, just DON'T act on his advice.

You just have to call any Dominican Travel agency in washington heights or call the service in spanish. Note that if i am informing you this its not for my benefit. American WorldWide Travel in 181 has the info. If you dont want to take the extra bag its OK but they are accepting it. Rick if i was you i wouldnt be talking about people being wrong.

So when you call the airline,who you might think would make the rules, they say you are nuts, but what is OK is to call Dominican travel agencies in Washigton Heights who apparently know more than AA does. Sounds like a genius plan. Quit making stuff up.
Hey how about an update - how many e-mails did you get sent to AA based on that looney conspiracy post you had going? Do you see why people might not take you seriously with your track record of looney behaviour?

Believe it or not I have received many responses. I can send you some any time you want.
for all those who are wondering (like we were) you are allowed to take a third bag like the op stated...unfortunatly we had to find out once we got to the airport with our 2 bags......what happened was after reading this thread i had called AA and spoke to an international rep and asked him if this is true a third bag would be allowed at no charge...he had heard nothing about it, check the comp there were no notes, put me on hold to ask someone else, came back and still said he hadn't heard anything....so we assumed no...then my husband goes to the airport today jfk and calls and tells me that yes he indeed would have been allowed a third bag, so he checked his carryon.....would have been nice to know this before hand would have saved us 100 dollars that we spent sending a box thru a shipping company 
they are allowing a third bag the whole month of october. hopefully this is informative.

Apdomini100max, good call.
It looks like the AA added a footnote to the chart on their website.
