Ques. about charges for checked bag to Paris
 
I'm assuming that if I have to fly American from Kansas City to Chicago to Paris, I will have to pay for one checked bag on the KC-Chicago leg and again on the return flight. There is no charge with American on international flights to Europe. Am I correct or would my flight booked on American all the way from KC to Paris be considered an international flight with no charge for 1 checked bag, even though connecting through Chicago? Probably a dumb question. Thanks.

The airline that you are flying can give you their correct answer to any questions.

Have you read the AA website? It says, after domestic, "All other itineraries- Contact Reservations for fees or seasonal restrictions." So call them.

Your ticket MCI-CDG is not a domestic ticket, never mind the domestic leg to the international hub ORD. But call AA. It costs nothing except a bit of on-hold-time -it only costs a fee to talk to an agent if you have the agent make the booking for you.

Yes, you are right. I will call to confirm, but I suspect it is an international ticket all the way. Bags are checked through from KC. Thank you.

That is an International ticket. They shouldn't charge for the bag for the 'domestic' segment of an International ticket.
