Terms & Conditions

¹Booking flexibility:

• No more change fees for all domestic and short-haul international flying on Premium Cabin, Premium Economy and Main Cabin fares.
• We also eliminated change fees for First, Business, Premium Economy and Main Cabin tickets for all long-haul international flights originating in North or South America for tickets issued on or after November 19, 2020.
• If your travel plans change, you can keep the full value of your original ticket but will need to pay the fare difference if your new flight is more expensive. If your new flight is less expensive, you’ll get the fare difference in the form of travel credit to use on a future trip.
• Fly standby for free on earlier domestic flights, including Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, to the same destination on the same day.
• The benefits above do not apply to Basic Economy, but customers who buy Basic Economy fares may now buy extras on the day of their travel like upgrades, seats, priority boarding and same-day flight changes.
• AAdvantage® elite members may apply their travel benefits on all tickets, including on Basic Economy fares.
