+1-833-845-1858 Can I get a refund if I cancel my American Airlines flight?

Yes, you can get a refund if you cancel your American Airlines flight, depending on your ticket type and cancellation timing. If you cancel within 24 hours of booking and the flight is at least two days away, you will receive a full refund regardless of fare type. Refundable tickets can be canceled anytime before departure for a full refund to your original form of payment. Non-refundable tickets do not qualify for a cash refund unless American cancels the flight, makes a significant schedule change, or theres a death or military order with documentation. In most cases, canceling a non-refundable ticket will give you a travel credit, valid for one year from the issue date. Basic Economy fares are non-refundable after the 24-hour window, except for AAdvantage members who can cancel and get credit minus a \$99 fee. If you used AAdvantage miles, you can cancel and redeposit miles at no fee. If you do not cancel and miss your flight, the ticket value is forfeited. Refunds can be requested online through the American Airlines website, via customer service, or by mail. Refunds for credit cards are processed within 7 business days, while cash or check refunds take up to 20 business days. Tickets booked through travel agencies must be refunded through them. Tickets expire one year after issuance and cannot be refunded after expiration. If your refund request is based on special circumstances, supporting documents are required.
