Yes, you can cancel an American Airlines flight and get your money back, but it depends on the type of ticket you purchased:
- Refundable Tickets: If you bought a refundable ticket, you can cancel your flight and get a full refund without any penalties.
- Non-Refundable Tickets: For non-refundable tickets, you generally won’t get your money back. However, you can receive a travel credit to use on a future flight, minus a cancellation fee. The fee is usually around $200 for domestic flights and can be higher for international flights.
- Basic Economy Tickets: These are typically non-refundable and cannot be canceled for a refund. If you cancel, you won’t get your money back or a credit.
- 24-Hour Cancellation Policy: American Airlines allows you to cancel any ticket for a full refund within 24 hours of booking, as long as the flight is at least two days away.
Always check your ticket details or contact American Airlines to cancellation and refund.
