In 1930, a union of more than 80 small airlines made American Airlines. Robertson Aircraft Corporation and the Colonial Air Transport were the two organizations from where the American Airlines originated, both being merged into the holding company, The Aviation Corporation in 1929.
In 1930, this was made into an operating company and rebranded to American Airways. In 2013, US Airways and American Airlines merged but kept the name as American Airlines as it is the better-recognized company internationally.

In a situation where seats are limited, seats are best assigned so that at least 1 adult is next to a child below the age of 15.
If you chose seats other than Main Cabin or Basic economy, a few days after your ticket purchase seats will be assigned to you so that any minor below 15 years of age can have at least 1 adult with them To note: If you and your child are traveling on a different reservation, notify Reservation to keep a note about it.
For children above 2 years of age, they must have their own seat and be ticketed an adult fare. American Airlines allows children as old as 2 days to travel, but if you’re traveling with an infant less than 7 days old, you need to have your healthcare provider fill out a medical form for the passenger before your flight. The infant must be accompanied by someone of age 16 or older/infant’s parent(s) in the same cabin.
