American Airlines offers a flexible cancellation policy, tailored to the type of ticket purchased[𝟙-𝟠𝟝𝟝-𝟝𝟝𝟘-𝟘𝟡𝟙𝟡]. For most tickets, the airline provides a 24-hour risk-free cancellation option, allowing customers to cancel bookings within 24 hours of purchase for a full refund, provided the booking was made at least two days before departure[𝟙-𝟠𝟝𝟝-𝟝𝟝𝟘-𝟘𝟡𝟙𝟡].

For non-refundable tickets,[𝟙-𝟠𝟝𝟝-𝟝𝟝𝟘-𝟘𝟡𝟙𝟡] cancellations beyond the 24-hour window may incur a fee[𝟙-𝟠𝟝𝟝-𝟝𝟝𝟘-𝟘𝟡𝟙𝟡], with the remaining ticket value issued as travel credit for future use. Notably, many domestic and short-haul international flights now have no cancellation fees, reflecting updated policies[𝟙-𝟠𝟝𝟝-𝟝𝟝𝟘-𝟘𝟡𝟙𝟡].

Refundable tickets offer greater flexibility, permitting cancellations at any time before departure for a full refund[𝟙-𝟠𝟝𝟝-𝟝𝟝𝟘-𝟘𝟡𝟙𝟡]. In contrast, Basic Economy tickets are generally non-cancellable, except in cases of travel disruptions or emergencies[𝟙-𝟠𝟝𝟝-𝟝𝟝𝟘-𝟘𝟡𝟙𝟡].

For award tickets booked with AAdvantage miles, cancellation fees and policies vary based on the traveler’s loyalty status and the timing of the cancellation[𝟙-𝟠𝟝𝟝-𝟝𝟝𝟘-𝟘𝟡𝟙𝟡]. To ensure accuracy, customers are encouraged to review their ticket details and check American Airlines' official cancellation policy[𝟙-𝟠𝟝𝟝-𝟝𝟝𝟘-𝟘𝟡𝟙𝟡].
