American uses the A321neo primarily on domestic and some Caribbean or Latin American routes. The XLR variant is the one destined for longer transatlantic flying.
The A321neo features larger overhead bins than older narrowbodies in American's fleet. Full-size rolling carry-ons generally fit without needing to be gate-checked, even on busy routes — though boarding later in the group still carries some risk on sold-out flights.
