Checking Bags instead of Shipping Items?
My relocation package only reimburses checked bags when traveling to my final destination. The limit is $300. Can I check a packaged box on American Airlines? They are moving all my stuff later on after the home sale but wanted to take a few things with me.
Email your recruiter or point of contact.
I emailed the relocation person and they said it was to be checked bags
How is babby formed?
Iβve seen people checking in boxes. They usually wrap em in scotch tape so they donβt explode when stepped on
Thank you for actually answering the question
Yes, I check cardboard boxes frequently, specifically on domestic AA flights.

You bet I am!
As long as it fits the size and weight limits, boxes are fine.
Yes, I've flown with a box once or twice. When I was in Asia cardboard boxes seemed more common than luggage. AA will probably make you sign a waiver saying that if the box gets wet and disintegrates it's not their fault.
Iβve seen a machine that wraps in plastic your cardboard box right before the check-in counters. Usually there is a line, so Iβm guessing itβs free?
Thanks I will definitely look for this!
If there is anything fragile make sure it is properly protected, airlines arenβt liable. Also nothing that contains lithium batteries or anything flammable like aerosols. Make sure your name and contact number is written on it clearly. Always a good idea to include contact info on the inside too, for anything checked. Bag or box. A business card is what I use. Finally, make it 50lbs or less and not more than 62β (L+W+H). Otherwise, itβs all good.
π I heard American Airlines has a website.
