Version history

American Airlines removed instructional language about enabling JavaScript from the opening of their Conditions of Carriage document in an update detected on July 23, 2026. The removed text stated 'How to enable JavaScript' as a standalone instruction. The updated document now opens directly with navigational breadcrumbs and the contract title, with an effective date of May 12, 2026 stated in the document itself.

American Airlines removed 12 sentences from its Terms of Use that previously disclosed how cookies and personal data are collected on its website. The removed language explained what cookies do, what data is collected for performance and functional purposes, and referenced the privacy policy. The updated terms no longer include these specific disclosures about cookie use and data collection methods.

American Airlines removed the word 'Advertising' as a subheading in their cookies disclosure section on May 14, 2026. Previously, the policy included a section header labeled 'Advertising' followed by an explanation of advertising cookies. The updated version removes this header while keeping the explanatory text about advertising cookies intact. This is a formatting change with no operational impact on how American Airlines collects or uses advertising cookies.

American Airlines updated its Conditions of Carriage on May 12, 2026, making three operational changes to baggage damage reporting procedures. First, the airline extended the window for filing damage reports to include reporting within 6 hours of receiving bags, not just before leaving the airport. Second, the document removed explicit mention of reporting requirements for delayed bags after delivery. Third, a formatting change added a redundant 'Advertising' header. The net effect expands the timeframe available to file baggage damage claims.

American Airlines removed the word 'Advertising' from a section header in its cookie policy on May 5, 2026. The substantive disclosure about advertising cookies and how they collect browsing data remained unchanged. This appears to be a formatting or organizational edit with no change to what the company actually does or discloses about advertising cookies.
