How do I get an American Airlines ticket receipt?
Use the ticket number tool. On aa.com, open Receipts and refunds, choose Receipts for tickets and fees, then enter the 13-digit ticket number and the passenger last name. It covers tickets, fees and extras like seats. A receipt appears 24 hours after you buy or change a trip.
No receipt yet? Wait a full day after the purchase.
How do I get a receipt for inflight purchases?
Use the inflight links on the same Receipts and refunds page: one for food and drinks, one for Wi-Fi and other inflight purchases. The food and drink page asks for the payment method, the last 4 digits of the card, its expiration date and the departure date. The Wi-Fi page asks for your last name, the last 4 card digits and a date range.
Inflight receipts appear 72 hours after the flight and last up to 6 months.
American Eagle flights have their own link on the food and drink page.
How do I print an American Airlines receipt?
Open the receipt on a computer, scroll to Cost Details and click the print button, or press Ctrl+P (Windows) or Cmd+P (Mac). Choose Save as PDF for a digital copy. Do it soon, because aa.com only keeps receipts for a limited time.
A PDF is easier to file than paper.
If those receipts are headed for your books, you can skip the printing. DocStreamAI finds receipts and invoices in your inbox, reads them with AI and posts them to QuickBooks Online or Xero with the file attached.
