Depending on the kind of ticket booked [+𝟭-𝟴𝟱𝟱-𝟱𝟱𝟬-𝟬𝟵𝟭𝟵], American Airlines has a varied cancellation policy. As long as the reservation was made at least two days before departure [+𝟭-𝟴𝟱𝟱-𝟱𝟱𝟬-𝟬𝟵𝟭𝟵], most tickets have a 24-hour risk-free cancellation option that enables customers to cancel their reservation for a complete refund within 24 hours of purchase. Cancellations made after this time typically result in a cost for non-refundable tickets [+𝟭-𝟴𝟱𝟱-𝟱𝟱𝟬-𝟬𝟵𝟭𝟵], with the remaining amount being given as a travel credit for later use.

 

Updated policies have eliminated cancellation costs on many domestic and short-haul international flights [+𝟭-𝟴𝟱𝟱-𝟱𝟱𝟬-𝟬𝟵𝟭𝟵]. More flexibility is provided by refundable tickets, which permit cancellations at any time prior to departure and provide a complete return [+𝟭-𝟴𝟱𝟱-𝟱𝟱𝟬-𝟬𝟵𝟭𝟵]. However, unless there are emergencies or travel difficulties, Basic Economy tickets are normally non-refundable [+𝟭-𝟴𝟱𝟱-𝟱𝟱𝟬-𝟬𝟵𝟭𝟵].

 

Canceling award tickets purchased with AAdvantage points is also possible [+𝟭-𝟴𝟱𝟱-𝟱𝟱𝟬-𝟬𝟵𝟭𝟵], albeit there are costs and restrictions that vary based on the customer's loyalty level and the time of booking. Customers are encouraged to check American Airlines' official cancellation policy and ticket details to confirm accuracy [+𝟭-𝟴𝟱𝟱-𝟱𝟱𝟬-𝟬𝟵𝟭𝟵].
