Our thoughts are with those who have, and continue to be, impacted by Hurricane Maria. Here’s what we’re doing to help customers who may be affected as well as how airports and flights are being impacted. Also learn how you can help hurricane recovery efforts.
What we’re doing to help customers
We added extra flights on Sept. 18 and 19 to evacuate customers out of St. Croix, USVI and San Juan, Puerto Rico before the storm and bring supplies to the region.
We also have capped our fares at $99 each way for Main Cabin, and $199 for premium cabin, on direct, single leg flights from select cities covered under our travel alert for Hurricane Maria. These fares will apply for flights to, from or through these locations through Sept. 24.
The travel alert allows customers whose travel plans are impacted by Hurricane Maria to rebook without change fees. Customers can reschedule their travel on aa.com by retrieving their reservation, or by contacting American reservations at 1-800-433-7300 in the U.S. or Canada. Customers calling from outside the U.S. or Canada should check aa.com for our worldwide reservation phone numbers. Customers are also encouraged to check the status of their flight on aa.com. Customers who booked through a travel agent are requested to contact their agency directly. If a flight is canceled, customers can request a full refund.
Since many flights are already sold out, we encourage customers traveling to only go to the airport if they have a confirmed ticket and their flight is operating. Customers are encouraged to check their flight status at aa.com prior to arriving at the airport.
In addition to our Hurricane Maria recovery efforts, we also continue to provide assistance to those impacted by Hurricanes Harvey and Irma.
Airport closures and flight cancellations
Hurricane Maria is impacting some of our operations in the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico and Turks and Caicos, causing airport closures and flight cancellations. We plan to resume service once affected airports pass inspection, in close coordination with our partners at the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP).
