There will be additional charges for changing your reservation if you have a refundable ticket. If you do not have a refundable ticket, you will probably not be able to "extend".

If you are an American Airlines Advantage member and booked your ticket through the American Airlines website, log in to your AAdvantage account to check the status. Unfortunately AA does not have a provision for only changing one leg of your flight so you will probably have to call them. (see:below)

Once your reservation has been booked online, you can make the following changes:

Change the reservation name
Cancel the entire reservation
Select/Change seats

Go to Reservations on the top navigation bar and click 'My Reservations'. In the booking process you were asked to give the reservation a name. This name can be changed. To cancel the reservation, click on 'View' located to the left of the itinerary you want to cancel. Next click 'CANCEL' to cancel that specific reservation.

If you were not logged in at the time the reservation was made online; use the 'Find Reservation' feature.

Once your reservation has been ticketed, you may make itinerary changes to an existing reservation provided the following conditions are met:

Travel is entirely between the U.S., Puerto Rico, and/or U.S. Virgin Islands
Travel is entirely on American Airlines, American Eagle AmericanConnection flight, and/or one of our AA-marketed codeshare partners itinerary
Your e-ticket was purchased with one credit card
Your ticket was issued from AA.com or American Airlines Reservations
You are not ticketed on an AAdvantage award or a fare purchased using a promotional code
All flights are confirmed
There are no more than six passengers in the reservation, and you are not part of a group booking
There are at least three hours before your next scheduled flight

From the top navigation bar, under Reservations click 'My Reservations' tab (you may be prompted to login) and then enter your record locator in the ‘Find Reservations’ box. Retrieve your reservation and if your reservation is eligible you will see a 'CHANGE' button option.

For assistance with issues not listed above, please contact AA Reservations. The US phone number is 1-800-433-7300. If you are calling from outside the US, please refer to the linked page for Worldwide reservations phone numbers.
