How long do I have before flight to cancel AA award ticket
« on: March 25, 2013, 01:28:04 AM »
I have an AA award flight coming up.  If I can't go, do I need to cancel a certain amount of time in advance to have my miles reinstated (for the fee)?  48 hours?  24 hours?  2 hours? 

Thanks

You don't have to cancel it before the flight

Do you mean, I can not show up and get my miles reinstated later?

...what if you have a multi-city itinerary, and fly the first leg, but need to cancel the remaining legs (MIA-ORD in May, ORD-CDG in Oct)? I'm assuming once you fly a leg, you're in for the whole miles spend, yes?

I think it's $150 to reinstate miles, can someone confirm/correct?
