Has anyone checked in a 40” tv on American Airlines? Does it exceed dimension/weight limit ?

might be cheaper to just ship it separately to where you're going

That’s what I thought, since they quoted $200 extra for checking it in

I believe weight should be fine given suitcases have over 50lb limits for checked bags but I don't know about dimensions. Maybe call them and see what they say. May be a special case given the fragile status.

The dimensions exceeded their limits and the additional was $200, thanks for the response though

With how they throw around bags do not expect your tv to be functioning once it arrives...

Weight should be fine (50 lbs) but dimensions probably don’t work out (width + height + depth <= 62”). I did 2x 24” monitors (taped the two boxes together) but a 40” TV is probably like 35”x20” for the TV alone (which leaves you with 7” for depth), never mind the box (which probably adds at least 2 inches per dimension, leaving you with 3” of depth to work with)

But why?
