American Airlines and other air service companies have lots of rules and regulations to ensure the safety of their passengers and staff.
A traveler walks past American Airlines planes gated at Ronald Regan Washington National Airport on July 11, 2022 in Arlington, Virginia. Staffing shortages, the COVID-19 pandemic and other issues have led to historic levels of disruptions in U.S. air travel.
However, many of these policies can be quite annoying for airline passengers. These include the carry-on baggage limit, ticket-checking, following correct seating numbers, etc.
Although some passengers hate these rules, they must follow them to continue their flights.
All these airline regulations are published on the official websites of flight companies.
But, American Airlines has a secret policy that can't be seen on its web page. Here's why it will definitely annoy many passengers.
American Airlines Secret Policy Might Disappoint You
According to The Street's latest report, American Airlines is hiding a very annoying policy that can get passengers kicked out of their flights.
American Airlines longest serving flight attendant, Bette Nash, 81 years old, checks the passengers' seats for forgotten items before disembarking from her daily return flight to Boston at Ronald Reagan Washington Airport in Arlington, Virginia on December 19, 2017. American Airlines Flight 2160 from Boston has just arrived in Washington, D.C., and Bette Nash, 81, helps the passengers disembark.

This was first revealed by View From The Wing. If AA passengers violate this rule, there's a high chance they will be denied permission to board or even kicked off their flights.
This secret American Airlines policy is about restricting the use of cameras to film activities inside the airplane.
"Is a secret policy that runs against common cultural practice, where people film things with their phone at will, even a policy at all?" the source asked.
Other Details of AA's Secret Policy
In 2014, American Airlines officially adopted a secret policy to prevent filming its employees.
However, it was only published in the company's on-board magazine, "American Way."
AA has no signage to inform its passengers regarding the camera usage policy. People can't also see it in American Airlines' Contract of Carriage.
Because of this, some passengers have already been kicked off their flights after breaking this hidden rule.
As of writing, the Federal Aviation Administration, the Department of Transportation, and the Transportation Security Administration don't have any policy prohibiting passengers from filming what's happening inside their airplanes.
This is why American Airlines' secret policy is criticized by many people, especially since filming your surroundings is very important for protection from any incident.
