 Frequently Asked Questions

Click on a question below to expand the answer.

Why should I purchase my vacation from American Airlines Vacations?

We offer great value at competitive prices. All of our vacation elements are offered as components, so you can design the trip that suits your interests. You can earn AAdvantage® miles on your flight* and bonus miles for booking your trip on AAVacations.com. Rental cars and sightseeing activities are also available.

*Note: Certain airfares are not eligible to earn AAdvantage miles. Complete AAdvantage Program Details can be found on AA.com.

When will my AAdvantage bonus miles for booking online be awarded?

AAdvantage bonus miles will be awarded to the first traveler's AAdvantage account for each booking six to eight weeks after travel is complete. You must enter your AAdvantage number when booking online.

How many AAdvantage bonus miles will I earn by booking my vacation online at AAVacations.com?

You will earn 500 AAdvantage bonus miles for every booking made online at AAVacations.com.

Can I pay for my vacation with AAdvantage miles using multiple AAdvantage accounts?

Yes, please call American Airlines Vacations at 1-800-321-2121 and one of our Reservation Specialists will assist you.

If I pay for my vacation with AAdvantage miles, will I also earn the AAdvantage mile online booking bonus on that purchase?

No, if you pay for all or part of your vacation with AAdvantage miles, you will not earn AAdvantage bonus miles on that booking. On each booking, you can either pay with AAdvantage miles or you can earn AAdvantage miles - you can't do both.

Why should I purchase my flight portion of my trip from American Airlines Vacations?

American Airlines Vacations offers special airfares that are only available when combined with our land components. These special fares are typically lower and more flexible than published fares generally available elsewhere and are also covered by the Cancellation and Change Waiver (Pre-Departure Protection), if you choose to include it with your package.

Will I also have the option to purchase published fares?

Yes. We will provide you with many flight options for your trip. Occasionally, there may be published sale fares that are lower than the private fares and we will offer these flight options to you. Keep in mind that these published fares are non-refundable and are not covered by the Cancellation and Change Waiver. Also please note that some airfares may remain non-refundable even with the purchase of the waiver.

What is the Cancellation and Change Waiver?

The Cancellation and Change Waiver will protect you in the event that your plans change. The waiver covers cancellations, for any reason, up until scheduled departure time. The waiver also covers revision fees. Restrictions may apply as outlined in our Terms and Conditions.

What are acceptable forms of payment?

We accept the following credit cards: American Express® Card, Discover®, Diners Club®, JCB, MasterCard®, and VISA®. When booking online, you may only use one of the credit cards listed above to pay for the entire cost of your trip. You can also use your AAdvantage® miles to pay for your vacation packages.

To use the AmericanAirlines® Credit CardSM, call 1-800-321-2121 and a Reservation Speicialist will assist you with your transaction. Please note that AAVacations puchases are not eligible for the Fly Now Payment Plan.

What if my credit card billing address is outside the US, Canada or the Caribbean?

At this time, we only accept credit cards with billing addresses within the U.S., Canada and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
