If you miss your American Airlines flight, your options for rebooking, refunds, or compensation depend on the circumstances surrounding the missed flight.
Missed Connections Due to Airline Delays: If you miss a connecting flight because of delays caused by American Airlines, the airline will automatically rebook you on the next available flight at no additional cost.
Missed Flights Not Attributable to Airline Delays: If you miss your flight due to personal reasons or factors not related to airline delays, you may need to contact American Airlines to discuss rebooking options. Depending on your fare type and availability, rebooking may incur additional charges.
Significant Flight Changes or Cancellations by American Airlines: If American Airlines cancels your flight or makes significant changes (typically over 4 hours for domestic flights), you are entitled to a refund, even for non-refundable tickets. This includes refunds for optional fees like seat upgrades.
Deciding Not to Travel After Significant Schedule Changes: If you choose not to travel after significant schedule changes initiated by American Airlines, you may request a refund for the unused portion of your ticket. Supporting documents may be required.
Review Fare Conditions: Familiarize yourself with the terms and conditions of your specific fare to understand your rights regarding rebooking, refunds, and compensation.
Notify the Airline: If you anticipate missing your flight, inform American Airlines as early as possible to explore rebooking options and minimize potential fees.
Contact Customer Service: For personalized assistance, reach out to American Airlines' customer service directly regarding missed flights and potential compensation.
Document Everything: Keep records of all communications, receipts, and documents related to your flight disruption, as they may be necessary for claims or reimbursements.
