How To Find American Airlines Receipts [2024]
When it comes to managing your travel expenses with American Airlines, it’s important to keep track of your receipts. Whether you need them for reimbursement, tax purposes, or simply to monitor your spending, it can be tricky to access receipts for previous American Airlines flights, on-board purchases, and in-flight Wi-Fi expenses. In this article, we will guide you through the process of obtaining these receipts.
Get Receipts for American Airlines Flights
It is easy to get an itemized receipt for your American Airlines flight. While AA email receipts at the time of purchase, you can also quickly locate yours by following these steps:
- Visit the American Airlines website at www.aa.com.
- Log in to your American Airlines AAdvantage account if you have one. If you don’t have an account, you can still access your receipts by providing your booking details.
- Click on the “Your Trips/Check-In” section.
- Enter your reservation details, such as your booking reference or ticket number, and your last name.
- Once you access your reservation, look for the option to view or download your receipt. It should be available in a printable format.
If that doesn’t work, head over to https://www.aa.com/your-receipts/. This tool allows you to request a receipt for tickets and fees (like seats) for up to 18 months after your purchase.
If you’re still having trouble, you’ll need to contact American Airlines customer service by visiting https://www.aa.com/i18n/customer-service/contact-american/american-customer-service.jsp
Get Receipts for AA Wi-Fi Purchases
If you need to find a receipt for your AA Wi-Fi purchase (or for your monthly Wi-Fi subscription), the best place to look is your email. American Airlines emails your receipt after your card is charged, for both one-time and subscription charges.
If you can’t the receipt in your inbox, follow these steps to use their receipt lookup tool:
- Head over to https://aa.com/receipts
- Enter your last name, last 4 digits of card used, and the date of purchase
- Hit continue
If those steps don’t work, you may need to contact Customer Support. American Airlines uses a couple of different providers for in-flight internet. Here are two ways to chat with them:
- https://support.aainflight.com/app/chat/chat_launch/c/256/la/1/l/1/pt/1
- https://inflight.viasat.com/AAL?airline=AAL
Get Receipts for On-Board Purchases
American Airlines makes it easy to get a receipt for on-board purchases (like food and alcoholic beverages). Follow these steps:
- Head over to https://aal.flight-retail.com/receiptportal/
- Enter your flight number, departure date, first 6 and last 4 digits of the card used, and your card’s expiration date
- Hit Search receipts
The system should automatically locate your on-board purchase, and allow you to print a receipt.
Closing Thoughts
It can be tricky finding receipts for past American Airlines purchases. The airline has different processes depending on the type of purchase. For past flights, it is best to login to your Advantage account. For Wi-fi and on-board purchases, you should be able to visit aa.com/receipts but you may have to contact AA’s internet service provider directly in certain cases.
