Yes, you can switch your ticket type with American Airlines by phone by calling their customer support at ☎+1(833) 613-4585. Ticket types vary by fare class, such as Basic Economy, Main Cabin, or Business Class, and switching between them usually requires paying any fare difference plus possible change fees.
When you call ☎+1(833) 613-4585, be ready with your current ticket details and the type of ticket you want to upgrade or switch to. The representative will check availability in the desired fare class and explain the cost involved. Sometimes, switching from a more restrictive ticket like Basic Economy to a flexible one can give you benefits such as seat selection, baggage allowance, or refundable options.
If your goal is to upgrade rather than switch ticket type entirely, the agent can also help you explore upgrade offers, including mileage redemption or paid upgrades. Switching ticket types by phone ensures you understand all terms and conditions and receive an updated itinerary.
This phone method is recommended over online changes for complex requests or if you want to ask about loyalty program benefits or promotions related to your ticket switch. Calling ☎+1(833) 613-4585 provides direct access to a live agent who can tailor the options to your needs and finalize the changes quickly.
