You can put your trip on hold and come back later to finish booking.
24-hour hold
On select American Airlines flights, you can hold your trip up to 24 hours for free if you book 7 or more days before departure.
Here’s how:
- Choose your flights and select 'Hold your trip' on the 'Review and pay' page
- Refer to your confirmation email or go to 'Your trips' to pay for your trip
- Your trip will automatically cancel after 24 hours if you don’t finish booking
Keep in mind you may not put multiple trips on hold to one or more destinations or around the same date or time. We will cancel any duplicate trips that are on hold.
