Accidental Cancellations: What If You Cancel a Flight by Mistake?
One of the more panic-inducing situations is accidentally canceling a flight—especially if it was a mistake made by a child or someone unfamiliar with the system. If this happens, time is of the essence. Contact the airline immediately. Some carriers, like American Airlines, are strict, but if you're persistent and speak with a supervisor, you might be able to recover your ticket or get a travel credit.
 
If your son accidentally canceled your flight with American Airlines and the airline is requiring you to purchase a new ticket, your options depend on the fare rules for your ticket. You may be able to request a waiver or refund, especially if the cancellation was a genuine mistake. Some airlines offer a grace period for errors or may let you rebook for a fee. It’s worth escalating to a supervisor or customer service manager to explain the situation and see if they can offer any flexibility. Keep documentation of the error and any communications with the airline.
