The overall limit is 10 bags per passenger. American Airlines determines its allowable sizes by adding up the total outside dimensions -- length, width and height -- of each bag. Checked bags can't exceed 62 inches, and can't weigh more than 50 pounds.
You should check with your airline first, but most domestic airlines permit a carry-on piece of luggage that is 45 linear (total) inches. A common sized bag for carry-on luggage is 22x 14x 9. Most airlines have a carry-on weight limit of 40 pounds. International airlines may have different restrictions for carry-on luggage. Again, it is always best to check with your airline first to get their exact requirements. Airlines enforce all size and weight limits much more strictly now than in the past. Bags are weighed at check-in and many airlines have placed bag sizers at their gates.
