Yes, you can cancel a flight with American Airlines even after you’ve checked in, but there are important considerations to keep in mind. Once you’ve checked in—either online, via mobile app, or at the airport—you’re still allowed to cancel your reservation. However, the rules regarding refunds, flight credits, and change penalties still apply based on your ticket type.

If your ticket is refundable, you can cancel without penalty, even after check-in. For non-refundable tickets, you may receive a credit for future travel, minus any applicable fees. If your fare is Basic Economy, cancellation options may be extremely limited unless you're within the 24-hour booking window.

To avoid any last-minute confusion or loss, it’s best to speak with a live agent who can verify your ticket status and explain your options. Dial Toll Free: 844-765-2010 for immediate support, or call our free advisor line at 866-543-1016 for 24/7 guidance.
