This summer may be a mess with changing rules as we go possible. So I would expect no guarantees. But the way I read the new rules is the exclusion is only for these Caribbean destinations this summer?



Seasonal limitations (June 18 – September 1, 2016)
American Airlines cities with oversize, overweight or excess baggage limitations This content can be expanded
Caribbean

Grenada, Grenada (GND)
Kingston, Jamaica (KIN)

Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago (POS)
Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic (SDQ)
St Kitts, St Kitts and Nevis (SKB)
Santiago, Dominican Republic (STI)

We travel with many checked bags and coolers for pleasure. The only disappointments we have had is the weight limit of 50lbs is getting more strict and troublesome.

Unless you are traveling with exotic stuff(Wild Boar Ribs, Quail Legs, Kobe Beef is the kind of stuff we bother to carry) your group really wants or must have you can do fine with the food available in the BVI.
