How to Change American Airlines Flights with Award Tickets

Changing an American Airlines flight booked with miles is possible, but different rules apply compared to paid tickets. If you need help, call +1 (888) 644-0077 to speak with a representative familiar with AAdvantage award bookings. American Airlines allows changes to award flights, but fees may vary based on status level and booking class. Youll also need to ensure that award availability still exists on the new flight.

Award tickets must be changed before the original departure time. If not, your miles may be forfeited. Use the online portal or call +1 (888) 644-0077 to check for available alternate flights. In some cases, you might be able to retain your original mileage redemption level, but expect to pay a fare difference if the award level has changed. Avoid last-minute changes if possible, and consider flexible award tickets for future bookings.
