AAdvantage Miles and the oneworld Alliance

American Airlines’ AAdvantage program lets members earn and redeem miles on eligible travel. Through oneworld partners, travelers can access additional destinations and selected benefits. 

Earn and Use AAdvantage Miles

AAdvantage is American Airlines’ frequent flyer program. Members can earn miles on eligible flights and other activities, then use them for award travel when seats are available. If you fly often, check the program’s current rules to see how your trip can add to your account, since earning and redemption rules can change.

Fly with oneworld Partners

As a oneworld member, American works with airlines like British Airways, Japan Airlines and Qatar Airways. That means you can connect between partner airlines and enjoy certain benefits on eligible trips. On international trips, check which airline operates each flight, as baggage, check-in and loyalty perks can vary.

American Airlines Cancellation Policy

Plans change, and it helps to know your options. The American Airlines cancellation policy depends on your fare type, your route and when and why you cancel.

Most tickets booked directly with American can be cancelled within 24 hours of purchase for a full refund, as long as you booked far enough ahead of departure. After that, the rules depend on your fare. Main Cabin and higher fares usually offer more flexibility, while Basic Economy is the most restrictive.

If you booked through a travel agency like FaresMatch, the cancellation process may differ depending on your booking terms. Check your booking terms and contact us as soon as possible if you need to cancel.

American Airlines Baggage Allowance

Your baggage allowance depends on your route, cabin, fare type and frequent flyer status. Rules for carry-on and checked bags can also differ between domestic and international flights.

Check the allowance for your trip before you book. If you’re bringing extra luggage, sports gear or anything unusual, look up the rules and fees ahead of time to avoid unexpected baggage fees or restrictions.

American Airlines Refund Policy

Under the American Airlines refund policy, refundable tickets can be refunded to your original payment method if you cancel. Nonrefundable tickets may give you a travel credit instead, depending on your fare.

If American cancels your flight or makes a significant schedule change and you choose not to travel, you’re usually entitled to a refund, even on a nonrefundable ticket. Always read your fare rules before you buy, so you know what to expect if your plans change.

Check-In and Travel Documents

Check-in times and deadlines depend on your flight and the airline operating it. Follow the instructions on your confirmation and give yourself plenty of time at the airport.

Flying internationally? Make sure your passport, visa and other travel documents meet the entry and transit rules for every country on your trip, since requirements vary by destination and traveler.
