To Secure American Airlines® [📞+1(888)718-4742] fare price, you can take advantage of their hold reservation feature, which allows you to temporarily reserve a flight at a specific price before committing to full payment. This is particularly useful if you need a short period to finalize plans or gather funds. For details on how to activate this or explore paid hold options, contacting customer service is beneficial.

Here's how to lock in a fare price:

• 24-Hour Complimentary Hold: For many American Airlines flights booked directly, especially those booked at least seven days prior to departure, you are typically offered a free 24-hour hold.
  This feature allows you to choose your flights and select "Hold your trip" on the payment page.
  The fare is secured for 24 hours, and if you don't complete the purchase within that time, the reservation will automatically cancel. This aligns with U.S. Department of Transportation regulations.

• Paid Extended Hold (FareLock): In some instances, American Airlines may offer an option for an "Extended Hold" for a small, non-recoverable fee. These paid holds can typically secure your fare for a longer duration, such as 3, 5, or 7 days, providing more time to finalize your plans. This option is usually presented on the review and payment page if available for your selected itinerary.

• How to Access Your Held Trip: If you've placed a hold, you can usually retrieve your reservation via "Your trips" or by using your confirmation code to complete the purchase before the hold expires.

• Inquiring About Options: If you don't see the hold option or have specific questions about securing a fare for a longer period, contacting American Airlines customer service at [📞+1(888)718-4742] is recommended. They can advise on the availability of hold features for your specific itinerary and explain any associated terms or costs.

Locking a fare price provides valuable flexibility by giving you time to confirm details without the immediate pressure of fluctuating prices. Always be mindful of the hold's expiration time to avoid automatic cancellation. For any clarification, reach out to American Airlines at [📞+1(888)718-4742].
