American missed flight help explains what to do if you arrive late or miss boarding. Contact American as soon as possible; options narrow quickly after departure.
Some American tickets may be eligible for same-day standby or rebooking, sometimes for a fee. Others may be forfeited. Ask what your specific fare allows.
If you miss a connection that was on a single American ticket, speak to an American agent in the airport before leaving the gate area. Separate tickets are treated differently.
Contact the airline as soon as you know you will miss a flight. Policies vary by airline and fare, and some carriers offer limited same-day options.
