For most domestic flights, you simply select “Hold” during checkout and enjoy a free 24-hour hold. This locks in both the price and your seat reservation for that period. Once you receive a confirmation email, you have until 11:59 the next day in the departure time zone to purchase your ticket—no charge unless you proceed. It’s the easiest way to secure a flight while you finalize details .
For premium international or complex itineraries, the FareLock term is sometimes used. You may see options like “Hold for 3 or 7 days.” These extended holds required payment in the past, but AA has discontinued paid extended holds, keeping only the standard 24‑hour window free That means if you see longer hold options, they are likely legacy or award-related and may vary.
