Trying to understand the current AA cancellation policy
 

Hi all,

I'm trying to understand the current AA flight cancellation/change policy.

If a book a standard nonrefundable Economy domestic ticket, can I cancel it for a full credit without fees?

If a book a standard nonrefundable Economy domestic ticket, can I change it and only pay fare difference? Is it limited to one change only, or can I do unlimited changes?

I checked the master thread and searched as well, but I have had difficulty answering these questions. If this is answered somewhere, feel free to just link me there. Thanks in advance!

Yes and yes (unlimited changes). As long as the ticket is not basic economy, you can cancel and use the full value for another ticket, as many times as you want. I think the credit will expire 1 year from your original purchase date.

To be more specific, there are currently no change fees for trips which begin in North or South America -- https://www.aa.com/i18n/customer-ser....jsp#ticketing
There can potentially be a change fee if you book trips which do not originate in North/South America.

For credit to remain valid, travel must commence (but not necessarily be completed) within one year of ticket issue date (note, it is based on issue date, not original flight departure date). Rebooking a new flight will not extend the validity date of an existing credit.
