Missing a flight can be stressful, but American Airlines offers several solutions depending on the reason for the missed flight and how quickly you act. Whether you arrived late, got stuck in traffic, or missed a connection, the key is to understand your options — and act fast.
Call ⭐☎️ +1 (855) 235-1276 as soon as you know you’ll miss your flight for the best possible outcome.
If you miss your flight and don’t notify American Airlines, your ticket may be canceled entirely, including any return or connecting flights. You will likely lose the entire value of the ticket.
If you arrive at the airport within 2 hours of your missed domestic flight, American Airlines may rebook you on the next available flight — subject to availability.
As soon as you know you're going to miss your flight, call ⭐☎️ +1 (855) 235-1276. The earlier you notify the airline, the better your chances of being rebooked at no extra cost.
If you’re already at or near the airport, head to the American Airlines counter and explain the situation. In some cases, agents can rebook you quickly on the next available flight.
American Airlines may apply an informal policy known as the Flat Tire Rule, which allows some passengers who missed their flight due to reasons beyond their control (e.g., traffic, emergency) to be rebooked without penalty. This is not guaranteed and is handled on a case-by-case basis.
If you missed your connecting American Airlines flight due to a delay in your first leg, the airline is responsible for rebooking you — often at no extra charge.
