Description
American Airlines’ Basic Economy tickets are among the most restrictive when it comes to cancellations. While you still benefit from the 24-hour cancellation rule—allowing you to cancel for a full refund within 24 hours of booking if the flight is more than two days away—there are no changes or cancellations allowed after that window.
If you miss the 24-hour cancellation period, you may not be able to get a refund or even a credit for future travel. However, American Airlines may offer exceptions in cases of emergencies, such as illness or death in the family. Always review your fare class before booking to ensure it meets your travel needs and allows for the flexibility you require.
