|
American Airlines customers can now get a confirmed seat for same-day flight changes for US and Caribbean travel for a $50 fee, provided seats are available.
Passengers or Travel Agents can call AA Reservations or passengers may handle the transaction at the airport self-service machines or ticket counter. If eligible seats are available within 12 hours of alternate flights for the customer's same itinerary, the flight change can be confirmed. Passengers will continue to have the option of standing by for an earlier or later flight on the same day at no charge (as permitted by fare rule).
Qualifications:
- Fare rules must allow standby (except for opaque, bulk and AAdvantage tickets which do not permit standby travel)
- The new flight must be scheduled to depart within 12 hours from the time the request is made (but no less that 1 hour for AA Reservations processing)
- If the flight departs in less than 1 hour, the request must be made at the airport self-service machines or ticket counter (including Admirals Clubs and Premium Services)
- No changes allowed to origin/destination
- Changes to connecting airports allowed
- Multi-segment itineraries, such as connecting service, can be changed to nonstop service as long as the fare rule permits. Likewise, a nonstop flight can be changed to a connection
- $50 fee is non-refundable

- AA, American Eagle®, AmericanConnection® flights
- Routings within/between the 50 US, US Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico and Caribbean
- All AAdvantage® and revenue tickets including upgrade, AAirpass, opaque and bulk tickets and Travel Agency Earned/Free and AD50 tickets
Exclusions:
- Customers traveling on fully refundable tickets in Y, B, or H are included in the program, but are not subject to the $50 fee
