Traveling with Children
Tips from American Airlines
Plan for security measures. It takes longer to get through today's security checkpoints. Check AA.com for shorter AAdvantage member security lines. Avoid packing more than is needed. Notify the check-in ticket agent if you and your children require special assistance when boarding the plane. For disabled children, American's Special Assistance Coordinators will help arrange the right service to meet any additional needs from wheelchair assistance to allergies or special boarding needs. Utilize the changing tables in all of American's international wide-body aircraft. Changing tables are also available domestically on flights aboard Boeing 757 aircraft and all three-class transcontinental flights. Plan for babies' meals. Airplane galleys don't have microwaves, refrigerators or formula on board, but bottles can be heated and medicine placed on ice for the flight if need be. Ask your flight attendant for assistance. Strollers 101: They are OK if they fit in the overhead bins. Umbrella strollers are best if you want to take the stroller with you when you de-plane. You can check the big stroller with your luggage if you need it at your destination, or we will gate-check it for you. Want to see more?
