A navy-bordered oval carries the American Airlines name around the top and El Mayan across the bottom, with the classic eagle between two red A's set beside a striking red profile of a Maya figure in a feathered headdress. The Mexican imagery fits American's long link to Mexico: the airline began flying there in 1942, with a Douglas DC-3 service from Dallas to Mexico City via Monterrey, its second international destination after Toronto. The eagle emblem dates from a company design contest of the early 1930s.
The bag is made from 10-ounce canvas of 80% recycled cotton and 20% cotton. The recycled fibers are collected from garment-cutting waste and then intertwined with cotton for added strength and durability. Self-fabric handles. Dimensions: 15.75" h x 15.25" w; approx. 240 cubic inches.
