American Airlines restricted the franchise or number of suitcases that passengers can transport to Ecuador (Guayaquil and Quito).
Known as "embargo", It is a procedure that airlines impose on certain markets in the face of operational situations or restrictions that are generated, for example,, high season year end travel, where travelers tend to carry more bags than normal.
Our Ecuadorian market is particularly important in terms of the amount of suitcases what we transport, Therefore, it is not the first time that an airline has carried out this type of protection for its operation..
How many bags can I take on American Airlines from / to Ecuador?
the key question, that we must start by remembering that it will initially depend on the rate they have chosen for their trip.
- Some rates include one piece of luggage and others, such as in the Business category, two bags..
With this premise we can define that the current luggage restriction to fly on American Airlines to Ecuador is as follows:
- Maximum two bags per passenger.
- Each piece of checked baggage must have a maximum weight of 32 kg/70 lb, as well as maximum dimensions of 158 cm/62 in. The overweight charge applies to luggage weighing more than 23 kg/50 lb, when traveling in the Main Cabin.
- hand luggage: Passengers can bring on board 1 hand luggage and 1 personal item.
This means, so that the user has the will to pay for a third suitcase, there is no option to do it, the limit is two.
A) Yes, the airline will avoid logistical problems due to the transport of baggage in the hold, that on some occasions, given the high demand, has had to stay and delay a few days in its final arrival to its owners in Guayaquil O Quito.
Although this measure is not new and has already been applied for a few weeks, I thought it was important to update and inform all those who are about to fly with American Airlines or were they looking at it as an alternative.
Finally, Let's remember that each airline manages its own policies and restrictions, that generally for our market are activated temporarily, but in specific case analyzed today, appears as permanent in the until 6 daily flights handled by the company.
Do not forget to check the baggage restrictions that your airline has in force to or from your final destination.

Well, the truth is that for many people it will be a problem to limit the weight of the suitcases. Now they will have to buy large suitcases but weigh little, or always put the essential. I would recommend buying a new suitcase, to buy suitcases I always recommend reading comparisons on the internet. i always do that, Above all, I let myself be guided by comparative websites such as best travel bags., Without a doubt, this is the best website to compare suitcases on the market..
It's a shame that the quality of American Airlines has gone further,I think it is better to travel on other airlines since American is not giving the best service to its customers and I think this will end in passengers choosing another airline like Eastern, Delta and even United because the truth is that American's current service seems bad to me. Good post and good information too bad it's for bad.
I recommend Delta among the American airlines that fly to Ecuador. I recently traveled on Delta from Quito to New York via Atlanta. Delta service is very good, even got awards for it.
Very good article, especially for this time of year. Those who have traveled on Christmas Eve must have felt this problem firsthand when a piece of luggage does not arrive at its destination until after several days.. This problem becomes bigger when you do not live in Quito or Guayaquil and you have to travel from other cities in the country..
And in those cases outside of Quito or Guayaquil, the logistics do get complicated., that's why better, restrict the number of bags per passenger.
That happens in American that gives terrible service, breaks schedules, cancels flights and finally only one suitcase and does not even allow paying for the second one in this epic because smaller planes fly like 737-800 in czz ace moved Eastern flies 767 wide cabin and large holds allows up to four suitcases upon payment, yes, but they have space to do so American punishes passengers and gives very bad service on board and on the ground
Many are not going to like being
Limit luggage weight, but it is more unpleasant that the luggage remains due to lack of weight capacity or space in the holds. If other airlines do not restrict it, then they will be advantaged over those who have it, always make sure to check the baggage restrictions before deciding to buy the service in one or another airline.
