Free 24‑Hour Hold or Cancel: If your booking is made seven or more days before departure, U.S. regulations allow either a free 24‑hour hold or the option to cancel within 24 hours of purchase for a full refund This means you can hold the fare and still cancel for free later if needed.
After 24 hours: Refund policy depends on fare class. Refundable fares are refundable anytime; nonrefundable fares get travel credit less fees if canceled. Since AA removed most change fees, you can change itineraries without fees but may owe fare differences .
