If you miss your flight with American Airlines, you might wonder whether you’re eligible for a refund or travel credit. Generally, non-refundable tickets won’t get you your money back, but you may still receive a credit for future travel, minus applicable fees. Refunds are more likely for fully refundable fares or if the airline is responsible for the missed flight. It’s important to check your ticket type and act quickly. Timing plays a big role in maximizing any compensation you might receive.
