Are there any fees associated with booking award travel using AAdvantage miles?

Yes, there are fees associated with booking award travel using AAdvantage miles. American Airlines charges a booking fee for award travel reservations made by phone, which is $30 per ticket within the United States and Canada, and $40 per ticket for all other destinations. However, this fee is waived for Executive Platinum members. In addition to the booking fee, there may be other fees, such as taxes and carrier-imposed charges, which vary based on the itinerary and destination. These fees are the responsibility of the traveler and can be paid using a credit card or AAdvantage miles. It's important to review all applicable fees and charges, including any change or cancellation fees, before finalizing your award travel booking.
