If you cancel your American Airlines flight, whether or not you receive a refund will depend on the ticket type. Refundable tickets will be reimbursed to your original payment method, while non-refundable tickets usually provide travel credits for future bookings. There is also a 24-hour cancellation window that allows any ticket type to be canceled for a full refund.
To cancel, log into the American Airlines website, find your trip under “Manage Trips,” and proceed with the cancellation. Be aware of any cancellation fees that may apply for non-refundable tickets if you’re outside the 24-hour window.
