What Do I Do If I Was Overcharged for My American Airlines Flight?

American Airlines is a recognized air travel service provider that's been in the industry since 1930. It's among the founders of the OneWorld alliance whose members and members-elect offer airline services that incorporate about 14,250 flights daily to 1,000 destinations in 150 countries. American Airlines offers an average of 6,700 trips daily to 350 destinations in 50 countries.

If you are a frequent air traveler, you must have experienced an overcharge at least once during your travels. American Airlines passengers are not immune to such issues, hence they may notice an overcharge in their checked baggage fees, AAdvantage award tickets, and e-vouchers.

American Airlines passengers faced with such matters are subject to refunds or vouchers and award ticket reimbursements.

Did American Airlines flight overcharge me?

As pre-mentioned, an overcharge may occur on your baggage fees, award tickets, or e-vouchers that are given instead of ticket refunds after flight delays or cancellations. To apply for a refund for an overcharged voucher or checked baggage fee, follow the steps below:

• Key in your AAdvantage account handle or American Airlines account's username.

• Press "Login" to access your account.
• If you don't have an account, you may create one by clicking on "Join AAdvantage."
• Scroll to the bottom of the homepage.
• Select "Receipts and Refunds."
