Does anyone know how long they take usually to charge your card after booking a flight through their website?
I booked a flight over 2 weeks ago yet they still haven't taken payment yet.
The flights are showing under my reservations on the website and they're stated as purchased by nothings showing on my online banking.
Many thanks and a Happy New Year to all! :beer:

I'm sure I was charged within 24 hours of booking my AA flights for later this month.
I would call them up to ask about it; even though your reservations are showing, it would be awful if you turned up at the airpot and they refused you, or you tried to OLCI and you couldn't.
When do you fly?0 -
yes agree normally payment is taken quite quickly/immediately.
you are sure you didn't use another card/account?
I would also suggest calling them to confirm all is OK.Does remembering a time that a certain degree of personal responsibility was more or less standard means that I am officially old?0 -
I have just logged into my AA account and my latest tickets are showing as 'Ticketed'. I think they showed as purchased when I paid, then shortly after changed to Ticketed.
I would definitely ring them to check.

No they just show as 'purchased' under the reservation name when I log into my reservation details.
Thanks all, I'll give them a ring tomorrow.0 -
