  • Refunds are unlikely unless it's within 24 hours of booking.

    • Delays Caused by American Airlines

  • Refunds are not typically available for delays beyond the airline's control.

    • American Airlines Hold Flight

If you book 7 or more days before your departure, you can hold your reservation for free for up to 24 hours, allowing you time to confirm your plans. Just select "Hold your trip" during the booking process. If you don't finalize your booking within that time, the reservation will be canceled.
