https://AAAFARES.com/ refund policy
It can be difficult to navigate American Airlines’ refund policy, but here are the key parts to understand before booking.
- If you cancel any tickets within 24 hours of booking and at least two days before departure, you will automatically get a full refund to your original form of payment without needing to take additional steps.
- Basic economy fares are never considered refundable American Airlines tickets unless they are canceled within that 24-hour booking window.
- You can book a refundable ticket from the get-go by filtering results by what the airline calls “Flexible tickets” in its search engine.
