Beginning Monday, the airline said it will not accept cash on flights within the continental United States, Alaska, Hawaii and Canada.
American Airlines flew 12.7 million people through the New York area in the year ending March 2009.

Cash will remain the only payment accepted on commuter planes operated by American Eagle and AmericanConnection flights.
