yourself either through our Web site at aavacations.com or by calling us at (800) 321-2121. If you are
not certain about any aspect of your plans, particularly if you are trying a new destination, we suggest
you let our specially trained representatives or your travel agent make your reservation to assure that
the vacation package is best designed specifically for you or your family.
Deposits and Final Payments: When Do I Pay? Once your specially designed vacation is booked, a
deposit of $100 per person is due within three (3) days. Final payment must be made at least 45 days
prior to your scheduled departure. Between December 17 and January 3, full payment is due at time
of booking. In some cases, there may be special airfares that offer better fares than our tour fares.
In those cases, full payment on the air portion may be due within 24 hours of booking. Bookings made
through our Internet site require deposit within 24 hours from the time of booking rather than the 3
days. We urge you to pay special attention to these dates because your booking will automatically be
cancelled if payment is not received. Again, payments can be made either by contacting us directly,
through your travel agent, or online for online bookings. AAdvantage® miles may also be used to pay
for hotel stays, airport transfers, and other features.
Price Guarantee: What if the Price Changes? The simple answer is that if the price increases after you
have given us a deposit, it’s our problem. We guarantee the cost of your vacation will not increase.
However, this guarantee does not apply to increases in fuel surcharges or air taxes. In some cases, there
may be special airfare sales that actually offer better fares than our tour fares. In those cases, we will
give you the option of either using the tour fares, with all the flexibility and protection they offer, or
using instead the sale fares. The sale fares are often not refundable and will be guaranteed only when
you make final payment on these sale fares, rather than from the time of your deposit.
Documents: What Sort of Vouchers or Tickets Will I Receive and When? AmericanAirlines Vacations will
send you two separate sets of documents. First, you will receive either an electronic ticket confirmation
or paper ticket (subject to printing surcharge if not using the electronic confirmation method), issued
for your air transportation. With electronic tickets all you need is a passenger receipt and passport.
Second, we will send you vouchers or confirmation slips for all of your land arrangements. These
documents will be mailed approximately three weeks prior to your departure date. We urge you to
review your documents thoroughly to ensure they are correct. To expedite documents, an additional
service fee of $25 would apply.
Restrictions and Fees: Are There Any Special Rules I Need to Know? Yes. In order to put together the
special values we offer, we have to impose some restrictions. For example, the minimum consecutive
stay we can offer is two nights. Other restrictions include:
Revisions/Cancellations: Rules and fees for revising air arrangements depend upon the type of
airfare used. Non-refundable fares remain non-refundable even when the AmericanAirlines Vacations
Administrative Service charge fees apply for changes to dates or destination. American Airlines lost
ticket policy will apply for reissuance of lost air tickets. For revisions to your land arrangements, a $25
revision fee will apply for each change after the documents are issued. In addition, no revision may be
made within 7 days of departure.
Cancellations: If a vacation is cancelled, AmericanAirlines Vacations will retain a cancellation fee.
Contact an AmericanAirlines Vacations specialist for details.
Any money to be refunded to you will be refunded in the same form of payment you used originally (i.e.,
credit card) and will be received within 6-8 weeks. Though we process refunds as quickly as possible, we
must receive the vouchers and/or air tickets we forwarded to you before we can release any refund. These
documents, any application for refunds or compensation, if permitted, must be submitted in writing to
us within 45 days of scheduled return and must be accompanied by all negotiable land documents and
air tickets. It is not necessary to return non-refundable air tickets. Vouchers must be returned to:
AmericanAirlines Vacations, Customer Service, Mail Drop 5445, P.O. Box 619616,
DFW Airport, Texas 75261-9616.
VACATION DETAILS
Please note that refunds are available only when vacations are properly cancelled within stated time
limits. Because our vacations are specially priced as complete, customized packages, we cannot refund
portions of the vacation price for unused or partially unused land components or features, including
unused hotel nights or other components such as car rentals, transfers or lift tickets. Travel Agents
please note: you must cancel records in your automated tour system or the land portion will not show
cancellation, and penalties may apply.
Late Bookings: We try to accommodate vacation bookings as little as 2 business days before departure, subject
to availability. Any booking within 15 days of departure, however, will include an expedite fee of $25.
AAdvantage: If applicable, AAdvantage miles are awarded once per booking to one AAdvantage member
who must be one of the passengers in the reservation. AAdvantage miles cannot be earned on multiple
reservations for consecutive days, known as back-to-back reservations. Mileage is awarded after travel
is completed. Members using any amount of miles as a form of payment will not be able to accrue
mileage credit in the same reservation.
Cancellation and Change Waiver
What if Something Goes Wrong?
Fee Waiver/Pre-Departure Protection: $59 per person. Allows you to revise your booking at any time
before 7 days prior to departure (no revisions are possible within 7 days), or to cancel your booking
entirely any time until your scheduled departure time, without incurring any revision or cancellation
fee. Some features of your vacation may not be refundable, even if this waiver is purchased. Other
conditions of this waiver may apply. Again, some airfares may be put on sale as non-refundable or with
other fare rules and those rules are not covered by this Waiver. Waiver is not available to purchase for
travel dates between December 17 and January 3.
Airport Check-In: It is recommended that you check-in at the airport at least two hours prior to the
scheduled flight departure and report to the gates at least 30 minutes before the flight departure.
Failure to comply with these conditions may result in the loss of your seat.
Car Rental Requirements: Driver must be at least 25 years of age and in possession of a valid driver’s
license and a major credit card in their name. Car cost may not include drop charges, tolls, taxes,
surcharges, upgrades, recoupment fees, airport fees and optional charges such as protection options
and additional drivers. An under age fee will apply for drivers age 21-24 years. Rental charges are
based on each 24 hour period commencing at time of rental, with any additional hours subject to
extra charge. A major credit card or a cash refundable deposit is required to protect against incidental
charges and damages, payable directly to the rental car company. Car rental companies will not refund
any unused portion of a voucher.
