To get a refund on American Airlines, your ticket must meet specific eligibility criteria. Refundable tickets are the easiest to get refunded, while non-refundable tickets typically offer travel credits instead. If your flight is canceled or delayed by the airline, you may also qualify for a full refund, regardless of your ticket type. To check your eligibility, log into your account on the American Airlines website and review the refund policy. Make sure to take action quickly, as timely submission of your request can affect the outcome.
