Does American Airlines still allow 2 carry-on bags?

Question

I usually fly with United but I'm not sure if American Airlines has the same rules.

Answer 1

It's just one carry-on bag.  But, I think you should be able to take your purse and a carry-on.  Or, a laptop and a carry-on.  That's pretty standard on most airlines.  

But, once, I had to stuff my large purse into my already stuffed carry-on bag.  That wasn't American Airlines, though.  Still, be aware that you may have to do that.  Leave some space in your bag.

Answer 2

Yes, one piece of luggage and then one personal item -- purse, computer bag, etc.
