If you cancel a flight with American Airlines, the penalty will vary based on the type of ticket you have:
- Basic Economy Tickets: These tickets are typically non-refundable, and American Airlines does not allow changes or cancellations. If you cancel, you wonโt get a refund or credit.
- Non-Refundable Tickets: If you cancel a non-refundable ticket, you wonโt receive your money back. However, you can get a travel credit for future use, but youโll have to pay a cancellation fee. For domestic flights, this fee is usually around $200, and it can be more for international flights.
- Refundable Tickets: If youโve purchased a refundable ticket, you can cancel your flight and get a full refund with no penalties.
- Same-Day Changes: American Airlines allows for same-day changes or cancellations for a fee. This fee is typically $75 for domestic flights, but it can vary.
- Award Tickets: If you booked your flight with AAdvantage miles, there may be a fee to redeposit your miles into your account after cancellation.
Itโs always a good idea to check the details of your specific ticket or contact American Airlines for the information.”
