The American Airlines Cancellation Policy gives travelers options to cancel their flight with different outcomes depending on the ticket type and timing. All passengers can cancel within 24 hours of booking (as long as the flight was booked at least two days before departure) and receive a full refund to the original payment method. American Airlines does not typically issue refunds for non-refundable fares unless the flight is canceled by the airline or significantly changed. In those situations, you may choose a full refund instead of rebooking. Contact Us: +1 (833) 284-2027
