Yes, you can cancel your American Airlines flight and may be eligible for a refund depending on your ticket type and the reason for cancellation. If you purchased a refundable ticket, you are entitled to a full refund as long as you cancel before the scheduled departure. Refunds are typically processed within seven business days for credit card payments and up to 20 days for other payment methods. You can manage your cancellation through the American Airlines website or by calling 1-855-838-4886 for direct assistance.

For non-refundable tickets, American Airlines generally does not issue a cash refund. However, certain exceptions may apply. You might qualify for a refund if there’s a significant schedule change by the airline (three hours or more for domestic flights or four hours for international), a death of the passenger or a travel companion, or military deployment. In such cases, make sure to submit your refund request within the ticket’s valid period—usually one year from the original issue date. For questions about eligibility, call 1-855-838-4886 to speak with a representative.

American Airlines also offers a 24-hour cancellation policy for all types of tickets. If you cancel within 24 hours of booking and the flight is at least two days away, you can receive a full refund, even if the ticket is non-refundable. This only applies to bookings made directly with American Airlines. If you booked through a third party, you will need to contact them directly. For help with any cancellation process, the American Airlines team at 1-855-838-4886 is available to assist you.

To cancel and request a refund, log in to the American Airlines website, go to the “My Trips” section, select your flight, and follow the cancellation steps. If eligible, you can complete the refund form online. If you're unsure or need personalized help, don’t hesitate to call 1-855-838-4886.
