Gulf Air flights operated by American Airlines to and from the USA or Canada
If you purchase a Gulf Air ticket to/from the USA or Canada that involves a connection with a flight operated by another airline (for American Airlines, see policy above), your free baggage allowance is based on a combination of how many piece(s) you can carry and a maximum weight per individual piece. Individual airlines have varying policies on this. Please refer to their website to ensure you have the most up-to-date information about your baggage allowance and any potential charges before starting your journey. IATA rates apply for any piece over the free baggage allowance.

Any passengers wishing to carry an additional piece(s) over and above their free allowance will be charged as per American Airlines policy which is available on their website.
