Does American Airlines offer free cancellations? support.cgu.edu

Yes, American Airlines offers free cancellations in certain circumstances:

24-Hour Risk-Free Cancellation: You can cancel any flight within 24 hours of booking for a full refund, as long as the booking was made at least 2 days before departure. This applies to all ticket types, including non-refundable tickets.

Award Flights: If you book a flight with AAdvantage miles, you can cancel the reservation without a fee if done within 24 hours of booking. After 24 hours, a cancellation fee may apply.

However, for most non-refundable tickets, once the 24-hour window has passed, you will typically need to pay a cancellation fee and may only receive a travel credit instead of a refund. For refundable tickets, you can cancel anytime for a full refund.

Always check American Airlines’ official website or customer service for specific details related to your booking.
