American Airlines Policy
Summary
American Airlines charges $150 to have a domestic ticket re-issued at a lower available fare. So if the price of your flight drops in excess of $150, you can obtain a "rollover" credit for future travel on American Airlines. Similarly, American Airlines charges up to $250 to have an international ticket re-issued at a lower available fare.
To obtain the refund you must call American Airlines Reservations: 1-800-433-7300.
Details
American Airlines' policy refers to travel credits as "rollover" credits. A "rollover" credit would be the refund a traveler could receive for the difference between the original purchase price and the new lower fare. If you've already purchased an American Airlines flight - and that flight is subsequently available at a lower available fare that's net of the Airline's change fee, you can get a rollover credit good towards a future flight on American Airlines.
- Ticket must be issued and no portion of the ticket has been used.
- No changes to the origin/destination/stopover points/flights/dates.
- All conditions of the lower fares/charges are met, including booking code and any advance reservations/ticketing requirements.
- When reduced fares are for sale for a limited period of time, American reserves the right to decline to issue refunds.
