SYD-LAX-YVR transit

[dacom]

Flying to Vancouver next week with AA and have 3 hour transit in LAX. Does anyone know if the checked luggage is still required to be picked up and re-checked on International transfers.
Now with the new airbridge open, I'm not sure if this is still a requirement. Some say you do, others say you don't. Trying to get more info. Thanks

AA just announced they’re trialling no bag collection at LAX for flights from SYD. Not sure if it includes onwards international connections - so best to ask at checkin.

Thanks for the info. Very helpful. Looks like my flight SYD to LAX with American Airlines is included. That takes a lot of stress out with only 3 hours transit time.

That's great info, thanks @SYD . You would think it would include international connections - if its secure enough to arrive at the US, it should be OK to immediately leave again.
