AN EXISTING TICKET

Changing or cancelling a American Airlines trip

Find the reservation through American’s booking lookup. Ticket-change FAQs and receipts/refunds information are separate resources; follow the one relevant to the ticket and the action you want.

01

Change or rebook

Start with American Airlines’s official booking or help resource below to find the route for your ticket. Look at the replacement flight and any fare difference before accepting a change.

  • Keep the ticket receipt as well as the reservation reference when the enquiry involves a refund.
  • Read the proposed fare difference, credit or refund outcome before confirming the request with the airline or original ticket seller.

Review cancellation and refund options

A cancellation may lead to a credit, a refund or no remaining value, depending on the ticket and circumstances. Read the options shown by the airline or ticket seller before confirming.

Keep the cancellation confirmation. A refund request may be a separate step, and this directory cannot approve or process it.

If the airline cancelled or changed your flight

An airline-initiated schedule change is different from choosing to cancel your own trip. Check the message from American Airlines, retrieve your reservation and review the alternatives it offers before making changes.

This page is a contact guide, not a live cancellation feed. Confirm the status of a particular flight on the airline’s website or in its app.
