Can I bring a backpack and a carry-on American Airlines?
Carry-on bags − Travel information − American Airlines
You can bring only one carry-on item along with your personal item. Your carry-on must fit in in the overhead bin or under the seat in front of you. If it doesn't fit, it will need to be checked. Be sure all your carry-on items are labeled in case they are checked.
