If you're thinking about canceling your flight on American Airlines, it’s important to be aware of the potential penalties. The penalty for canceling a flight can vary depending on your ticket type, fare class, and the timing of the cancellation.

American Airlines Cancellation Policy

Non-Refundable Tickets: If you have a non-refundable ticket, American Airlines typically charges a cancellation fee and may give you a credit for future travel, which must be used within a certain period. The fee can range from $200 to $500, depending on the route and fare class.

Refundable Tickets: If you purchased a refundable ticket, you can cancel your flight with no penalty, and you'll receive a full refund to your original form of payment.

Basic Economy Tickets: These tickets are the most restrictive. If you cancel, you will generally lose the entire ticket value, but you may receive a travel credit minus a cancellation fee.

If you want to avoid these fees or learn more about how the cancellation penalty applies to your specific situation, simply dial +1(866)228-4206 to connect with an agent. They'll help you navigate the best options for your flight and any associated charges.
