Transportation Vouchers

General Information

All transportation vouchers issued by AA or American Eagle are valid for travel on AA, American Eagle and AA codeshare flights (AA*).

These vouchers are also valid for travel on oneworldTM itineraries where AA or AA* is the international carrier.

    Note: For oneworldTM itineraries, international flights are defined as transatlantic, transpacific and flights to and from South America. Flights to and from Alaska, Canada, Mexico, Caribbean, or Central America are not included.

Travel agents may accept AA vouchers (042/043) for full or partial payment for a ticket as an "exchange" document/ticket. If the voucher is less than the ticket the additional monies are collected. If the voucher exceeds the ticket cost an MCO will be issued for the difference as a residual indicating non-refundable and for AA Transportation only. Valid one year from date of issue. There is no Change Fee/ASC associated with using a voucher

Exchanging a Voucher for a New Ticket

The 13-digit voucher number is indicated in the EXCH box. The automated endorsement verbiage will transmit to the new ticket. This endorsement verbiage should not be altered and does not need to include any other required wording associated with the Fare Basis Code (FBC).

An example of an endorsement when using a voucher as the exchange document is:
