Frequently Asked Questions

How do I change an American Airlines flight without fees?
American Airlines eliminated change fees on Main Cabin and above for domestic and most international flights. You only pay any fare difference. Book any fare above Basic Economy and you can change the date/time freely. We handle the change process and any negotiations needed.
Can I cancel an American Airlines Basic Economy ticket?
American Airlines Basic Economy cannot be changed or cancelled for a trip credit after the 24-hour free cancellation window. The only exception is if American cancels or significantly changes your flight — in that case, you qualify for a full cash refund regardless of fare type.
How do AAdvantage upgrade requests work?
AAdvantage upgrade requests can be submitted starting 5 days before departure using miles + co-pay on eligible fare classes. Upgrades clear based on status tier and request date. Executive Platinum members have highest priority. We monitor upgrade waitlists and notify you of clearance.
What is American's same-day flight change policy?
American Airlines offers same-day confirmed changes ($75 fee) and same-day standby (free) for eligible tickets. AAdvantage Gold, Platinum, Platinum Pro, and Executive Platinum members receive same-day confirmed changes at no charge. Must be on the same origin-destination as original routing.
What if American Airlines cancels my flight?
If American cancels your flight or changes it by 3+ hours, you are entitled to a full cash refund to your original payment method. You can also choose to rebook on the next available American flight at no charge. We help you claim the cash refund rather than being redirected to an eCredit.
