@AmericanAir It wasn’t even consistent on the 2nd flight. As shown in my first tweet someone two spots in front of me was let on with a suitcase and duffel bag. And when I asked to put the things in my duffle in my suitcase since it was small enough to fit I was told I wasn’t allowed.
Dear @AmericanAir if you tell me I can’t have my personal item because it’s a duffel bag don’t let me see two people in front of me walk on the plane with a duffel bag. Not to mention I flew with it as my personal item on my first flight. Apparently doesn’t work on the way home.
