American Airlines Infant Policy and Booking Requirements

American Airlines are always committed to caring for the people on their life's journey. They provide a safe and positive travel experience for your children and family.

There are some essential points on the American Airlines infant policy that you can find and plan your flight travel accordingly, as given below. 
  • Infants of the age under two years can travel with their guardians free of cost on their lap. Infants can also travel with an accompanying adult of not less than 16 years of age in the same cabin. 
  • They allow infants as young as two days old, but the seven days old infant must submit the passenger medical form. 
  • The medical and passenger infant forms must be submitted before the scheduled departure.
