American Delays Implementation of its Ban on Interlining Baggage on Separate Tickets

American is eliminating the ability to through check baggage between different airlines outside of oneworld on separate tickets.

And already the implementation date has been put off… to October 15.

Two more weeks. Maybe they could use the time to inform customers of the change.
