Importance of Safety
At American Airlines, we prioritize your safety above everything else. We understand the significance of adhering to safety measures and protocols to provide you with a secure travel experience.
Buckling Your Seatbelt
To ensure your safety during the flight, it is essential to fasten your seatbelt properly. Simply insert the metal end of the seatbelt into the buckle and pull the strap to tighten. Remember to keep your seatbelt fastened whenever you are seated.
Stowing Carry-Ons
For a smooth and safe journey, please place all carry-on luggage under the seat in front of You. Larger carry-ons should be stowed in the overhead bin. This ensures that the aisles are clear and prevents any obstructions in case of an emergency.
Electronic Devices
As we embark on our flight, it is important to switch your handheld devices to airplane mode. This helps minimize interference with the aircraft's communication systems and ensures a safe flight. If your electronic device falls into your seat, please refrain from adjusting your seat and promptly notify a crew member for assistance.
Smoking Prohibitions
U.S. law strictly prohibits smoking, including e-cigarettes, on all flights. Tampering with or disabling smoke detectors in the lavatories is also prohibited and may result in penalties.
Compliance with Signs and Instructions

Safety Features of the Aircraft
Our aircraft is equipped with various safety features designed to protect passengers in case of an emergency.
Exits and Evacuation Procedures
Take a moment to familiarize yourself with the location of the nearest exits. In case of an evacuation, leave all carry-ons behind and follow the illuminated escape path lighting or signs to the nearest exit. All exits are clearly marked, even those located behind you. Exit doors are equipped with evacuation slides, which can double as flotation devices if required.
Emergency Equipment
Refer to the safety card in your seat pocket for detailed information about the safety features of this aircraft, including flotation devices. Life vests are located under, next to, or between your seat. In the event of a Water evacuation, the exit door slides in the front and back of the aircraft can be detached and used for flotation.
Oxygen Mask Usage
In case of a cabin depressurization, oxygen masks will automatically drop from the overhead compartments. While remaining seated, pull the mask firmly towards you to start the flow of oxygen. Place the mask over your nose and mouth, secure the elastic band around your head, and adjust the straps for a snug fit. Remember to secure your own mask before assisting others.
Life Vest Usage
Life vests are available for each passenger and are located either under or next to your seat. To remove the vest, pull the tab or handle to break the seal. Put the vest over your head, wrap the strap around your waist, attach the buckle, and pull it tight. If necessary, inflate the vest by pulling the tab or blowing into the red tube. An infant life vest will be distributed by a crew member if needed.
