American Airlines Reservations

Everyone who books a plane ticket plans to board that flight on schedule, but hey, life happens. Sometimes travelers cannot make their flights as planned and need to change the ticket.

Those who fly with American Airlines can change their flight reservations, but incur a service charge. You can call American Airlines to change your ticket at any time of the day at the following numbers:

English: 800-433-7300

Spanish: 800-633-3711

Ticket exchange services are also available in Portuguese, Japanese, and Mandarin Chinese during limited hours.

Just call and request a ticket change, but be prepared to pay for it. Fares vary based on the specific ticket, but generally, changing a ticket carries a fee of $ 200 for domestic flights and up to $ 750 for international flights.

Same day flight changes and on hold

It costs less to change a flight reservation to a different time on the same day (either by flight change on the same day or on hold) than to change the ticket to a completely different day. Customers can request a flight change on the same day or on hold online at aa.com, at a self-service kiosk or at the ticket counter.

For those flying in the main cabin, same-day changes within the United States, Canada, or the Caribbean are charged $ 75. For transatlantic travel from John F. Kennedy International Airport and Heathrow Airport in London, same day flight changes cost $ 150.

These rates apply as long as the alternative flight reservation:

Take off and land at the same airports as the original ticket.

It is for the same departure day as the original flight.

It is through American Airlines or American Eagle.

Same day flight change fees do not apply to customers:

Customers can wait on an earlier flight between the 50 US states, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands for a fee of $ 75. The alternate booking must meet the same standards as for a change of flight. I fly the same day.

Cancel a flight

American Airlines customers have 24 hours after purchasing their ticket to cancel it for a full refund, provided they have booked the ticket at least two days prior to departure.

If the ticket was purchased directly from American Airlines, request a refund online or by contacting the American Airlines reservation desk, and the refund must be credited within one week. If purchased through a third party, customers should call the third party for refund details.

Flights booked through the American Airlines reservations service are considered non-refundable, so customers can get a full refund on these tickets only within 24 hours of purchase. Otherwise, the only situations that entitle the buyer of a non-refundable ticket to a refund are:

A time change that results in a change of 61 minutes or more

Death of a passenger or passenger travel companion

Military orders

However, non-refundable ticket values??can be applied to future flights as long as:

The new trip begins within one year of the original ticket issue date.

The customer canceled the original ticket before the first flight departed.
