Is There a Penalty for Canceling an American Airlines Flight?

American Airlines’ cancellation penalties vary depending on the fare type and the time of cancellation. The airline offers a 24-hour cancellation policy, which allows passengers to cancel flights within 24 hours of booking without penalty, as long as the flight is at least two days away. This is the most convenient way to avoid penalties.
