June 22, 2025 - New Info for Carry-on bags

Carry-on Baggage - Dimensions

WHAT IS THE SIZE OF YOUR CARRY-ON ROLLER BAG?

European Carry-on Baggage Dimensions. All the U.S. airlines, including AA are moving to the European carry-on baggage dimensions of 22-14-9 inches with wheels for carry-on bags.

Weight Restriction. Some international carriers weigh your carry-on bag. There is a weight limit, and it will be checked if it exceeds 8 kg (17.6 lbs) to 10 kg (22 lbs), but it can vary by airline.

Measure Your Carry-on Bag. If you do not know the exact measurements of your carry-on roller bag - it is suggested you measure it. Your bag may conform to the current U.S. dimensions for domestic travel; however, it may not conform to international carriers' dimensions if you are connecting to, or traveling to an international destination.

Purchasing a New Carry-on Bag. If you are purchasing a new carry-on roller bag; read the 'details' to ensure the measurements fall within the new dimensions.

This has been the European standard, and carriers are using these dimensions to gate check bags that do not comply with them.

CHANGING PRIORITY PASS TRAVEL CLASSIFICATIONS

If you change from a D2 to a D1 in the connecting city you will lose your THRU/CONNECTING “T” status appended to your name on the airport priority list.

EXAMPLE – Original flight listing is for D2 travel from LAX/PHL/MUC; you travel as a D2 LAX/PHL and change to a D1 from PHL/MUC; you must cancel the PHL/MUC segment and re-book it as a D1.

Canceling and re-listing will establish a new check-in time and you will lose the THRU/CONNECTING "T" status appended to your name; however --- you will have a higher priority boarding status of a D1, rather than, a D2T.

CONNECTING NON-REVENUE TRAVELERS

"CONNECTING" NON-REV TRAVELERS

Non-Rev passengers connecting to a flight are considered "THRU" passengers and their boarding priority code will be appended with a "T" to indicate you are a "THRU/CONNECTING passenger". Connecting Non-Rev Travelers will be boarded ahead of locally boarding non-rev travelers (who have the same priority boarding code; D1, D2, etc.).

If y

If your flight listing (PNR) contains “connecting” segments, the same priority code will be applied automatically to the connecting flight airport priority list when you are accommodated at your origin city. Your name will not appear on the airport priority list of the connecting flight until you are accommodated on your originating flight.

INTERNATIONAL FLIGHTS

When connecting to an international flight from a domestic flight you MUST do the following:

HAVE YOUR PASSPORT SWIPED BY AN AIRPORT AGENT AT YOUR CITY OF ORIGIN.

IMPORTANT: If you do not have your passport swiped in your city of origin;

you will lose your original check-in time (created by the retirees' website)

for your connecting flight.

IMPORTANT: Your name will not

appear on the priority list for your international connecting flight until

you are accommodated on your originating flight.

NOT the time you checked- in using

the retirees' website.

CONNECTING Flights Not in Same PNR

the same PNR, you MUST check in

with an agent at the connecting city

and present your inbound boarding

Airport Standby List & Seat Assignments

The airport standby list is processed

from the top down. Seat assignments are given to passengers based on what seats are available when you are processed from the list.

The airport standby list is processed

from the top down. Seat assignments are given to passengers based on what seats are available when you are processed from the list.

D1 travel classification does not

mean you will be assigned a specific

cabin or seat.

The list is worked with the open seats that are available at that time the agent begins processing standby on the list.

When travelers choose seats they are PAYING for their seats, and they usually choose the "more" desirable seats available. The seats remaining are

usually the "less" desirable (middle or rear seats on the aircraft).

MIS-CONNECTIN PASSENGERS However, as people do not show up

for the flight (for various reasons or as a result of mis-connecting flights) there are times that "more desirable seats in the cabin" can open up when seats are dropped for passengers who are not going to make the flight.

Because of the ever-changing status of flights, and if you are at the top of the airport priority list (and processed as some of the first standbys on the list) you are more likely to get on the flight, but you may get a "less" desirable seat.

If you are at the bottom of the list,

you may luck-out because of last-minute openings of "more desirable seats" from passenger(s) who have missed the flight. But, please remember, the lower down on the priority list determines IF you will even get on the flight.

Also, if the computer system generates seat assignments for non-rev standbys,

it starts the seat assignments from the rear of the a/c forward and there are specific seats labeled as "less desirable" in the system for non-rev travelers.

IF the Agent has the time and can manually assign seats, she/he can try to avoid assigning the "less" desirable seats to non-rev travelers.

And, lest we forget, a seat anywhere on the aircraft is way better than the one in the terminal waving buh bye.

Please DO NOT blame the agent or complain to others because you get a less desirabl

IF the Agent has the time and can manually assign seats, she/he can try to avoid assigning the "less" desirable seats to non-rev travelers.

And, lest we forget, a seat anywhere on the aircraft is way better than the one in the terminal waving buh bye.

Please DO NOT blame the agent or complain to others because you get a less desirable seat than a non-rev who was processed from the airport priority list after you.

Please do not assume that an Agent processed passengers out of order because someone processed after you was assigned a 'better' seat.
