Yes, American Airlines offers free cancellations in certain situations:
1. 24-Hour Risk-Free Cancellation: You can cancel any flight within 24 hours of booking for a full refund, as long as the booking was made at least 2 days before departure.
2. Award Flights: If you booked with AAdvantage miles, cancellations within 24 hours of booking are free. After that, a cancellation fee may apply.
For non-refundable tickets, cancellations after the 24-hour window usually result in a travel credit (not a refund), minus any applicable cancellation fees.
