Does anyone know if a flight from Boston to Aruba with a stop in Miami is considered a international flight? and is firtst bags free? thank you

If you are booked through Aruba, first two bags should be free. Check out AA.com.

BTW.....You cannot buy alcohol at duty free in Boston unless you have a direct flight. Could buy in Miami.

It would be considered international. Both bags are free. Have been going that way for 20 years and never a problem. Going again April 25!! Can't wait.!!!

at least using AA , if your final destination is not USA or one of its territories it IS considered international.

If your destination is INTERNATIONAL then yes......providing your luggage is checked all the way thru.

Early in 2009 I tried to make a reservation with American Airlines for February of this year early and was told only 1 stop flights were available so I made one for me and my wife. Several months later I learned that direct flights were available and I called to protest that I was told there were no non stop flights.
In order to get the non-stop flight I had to pay more than $100 per ticket for the non stop ticket.! (Cannot recall exact cost).
I'm wondering if anyone has encountered this problem and if so how and when they managed to get a non-stop flight.

Thank you.

I just wait until they show up. I usually book through Expedia.
