Ok, I have a few questions, actually...
Background: I am flying from Pittsburgh to Chicago with American Airlines. Then I will be flying from Chicago to Frankfurt with Air India. I booked both flights at the same time through a travel site, and so are part of the same itinerary. FYI, I've looked at the websites of each airline I am using, but I don't know if one takes precedent over the other; I'm just checking to see if anyone can make what the airlines/government say less confusing.
American Airlines says there is no charge for two checked bags for international flights. Will this apply to me, even though my trip with AA will be domestic? Or will I have to pay the $15/$25 fees for two bags?
I wanted to take a carry-on bag and as a personal item have a pillow with a blanket inside, wrapped around the pillow. Will this personal item be allowed on both airlines? Air India's website mentioned nothing about personal items (that I could find anyway).
At what point will I go through customs on my trip? Do they charge for you to go through customs? I found a chart saying how much % they will charge for specific items, but it did not say if this applied to everyone or just to businesses bringing in goods to be sold... (I just don't want to be taxed for taking my digital camera and laptop, lol.)
Thank you for your help!
