I have flown on American Airlines over 100 times and I love the airline. I always feel comfortable on my flight and the customer service is great.

do not use this airlines. I booked a flight from Newark to Dallas. My flight was cancelled, and I was re-booked but with a stop over in Miami instead of direct. I have sat in Miami all day because my flight has been cancelled three times. They are also overbooked so they are telling people they have to wait. I will Never fly with this airlines again. Find any other airlines. They have zero customer service.

I won’t fly American Airlines again. They only cater to wealthy people. I have a late night flight and wanted to go early for standby. The woman couldn’t give me an answer until I gave her my information. She came back on the phone and told me I didn’t qualify for it.🤔 I always wondered why all my friends fly southwest. Never fly American again

Most horrible airline ever.... What kind of airline makers it’s travelers get off their plane, cancel their flight and then board the same plane (WITH OUR LUGGAGE STILL ON IT) with other passengers and send it to another city? AMERICAN!! This happened on 12/26/18 from Dallas to San Diego. The plane was sent to LA instead and we were dumped in the terminal without luggage, a place to stay or food vouchers... WHO DOES THIS the day after Christmas? Never again... EVER! Do not use this airline!!!

We have just had bad experience with American Airlines and had to cancel our vacation, soooo sad , the flight was delayed and we missed connecting flight , and instead of helping and find some solution they told us to cancel our vacation.... I was trying to find another person but they did not even talk to us , they were sooooo rude and ignoring , they said they can not put us to another flight because it is overbooked and no compensation , no hotel or free meal , no sorry , will never flight with the company ever again . Stay away from them if you don’t want to ruin your vacation!!!

I made the reservation at 1.25pm 11/08/2018, to fly on the last flight at 3.36pm, two hours later they put another flight that leaves at 6.35pm, call to change the flight as it is much better to me That hour and I said that it is $ 200.00 dollars for passengers of pain, thief, for a change two hours after the reservation and for a change of schedule the same day on the same date, America Airline loses customer every day and I am one more that loses, in a short time we will see one more time in bankruptcy, for ridicule, for mistreating the client and for thieves

I’ve only flown American Airlines once, but the experience wasn’t great. There was an hour delay on an already late night flight, with no explanation! And the cabin wasn’t in very good condition.

I purchased a flight traveling on military orders through American Airlines from Virginia to Frankfurt. Through AA special services, I arranged for my emotional support companion( a cat), to accompany me. Flight was delayed, connection missed, and I was rerouted through London. I called special assistance twice and spoke to a manager asking for assistance. I was told 3 times all was fine. When we arrived in London, I was detained, and British Agents took my cat to Quarantine. It took 10 hours to sort out. Thank you for asking.

Overall, quality of American Airlines has decreased. I have been a long time customer until the last couple of years. Smallest seats and so cramped. The plans are up. Not upgraded at all. Fees are so high if you ever have to change your flight.

I have been pretty unhappy with customer service with American Airlines. I think there are unnecessary fees and I don't feel like they really care to make their customers happy. Prices are usually high and I rarely can find a good deal with AA. I think some bettering of their customer service could do the company good.

Company like American Airlines are the worst. It's one thing to have flight delayed due to maintenance and another one due to maintenance. Our flight is only 4 hours. It took us 12 hours to get home. We had to get different flight due to delay and missing our connecting flight because of the company. They over booked. I will used other Airlines due to this experience. The worst day ever.

I booked a flight for my brother to travel from New York to Raleigh NC May 29th returning May 31st.I realized last evening that I made a mistake. I had booked the ticket Raleigh to New York round trip. I called American Airlines to see what they could do to help. they told me my ticket is non refundable. If your brother would like to travel from NY to Raleigh May 29th it would cost $446.00. I was going back and forward with them all day. American Airlines offered me $177 towards a future flight. I refused the offer. I'll never ever use them again.

Oh how I wish American had some real competition out of DFW! I am a Platinum customer of American and time and again I am disappointed in their customer service, the filthy status of their airplanes and the lack of timeliness. Please American, empower your employees, clean your airplanes and, stop the clustering of your flights which make it more difficult to get into the airport, maneuver thru mass throngs of people all trying get to their gates and, makes flying times terribly inconvenient.

Had a terrible experience flying from SD to Boston. But last May I did give AA a second chance, from SD to Austin TX, the flight was a nightmare!! The flight was delayed, we miss our flight to Austin and we were stuck in Dallas for 8 hrs!!! American was no help and we had to reschedule ourselves using a different airline. (No way that we going to miss my son's graduation) A mess. AA personnel with attitude. Ticket agents were useless. No more AA for me!!

American Airlines, the personnel that assist me on my last trip was not friendly and helpful at all. I needed a wheel chair and the female person left and said would come back and she never did. We had to get some to assist us and that still took awhile. Then in the boarding area the staff on the desk was just so impersonal and short with most of the people that they had contact with. Let's not forget about how small the seats are and tight. Going and coming no friendly personnel. Must had been a bad day.

Last 4 trips in 5 weeks had issues with delays or cancellations due to "mechanical". That is, the planes did not work. While I appreciate the safety of not flying when not safe, somehow this airline should have planes that are fit to fly. I wrote to them and their reply was simply "we are replacing our planes as fast as we can." I am not impressed!!!!

I have been faithful to AA for many years, since was one of the best airlines Unfortunately it is now one of the last options for its poor service, little space between the chairs, the failure to flight departure, for having the oldest fleet of airliners on the market, by paying less to flight attendants for their high prices. In summary because their executives looking to take the company into the bankruptcy and then benefit from the bonuses.

we were flying from Austin Texas to Boston for a trip to the Azores .Flight was delayed then delayed,more then delayed more then canceled. AA employees were not helpful refused to transfer me to a US Airways flight said they were not fully merged. as a result, I missed the charter flight and lost $1600, I was a US Airways customer, now that they have merged I am looking for a new airline to fly on and it is not AA . Once you fly an airline like Air New Zealand or Qantas then you really find out how bad AA service is

Their pricing online is extremely deceptive. They quote a price online, then when you actually try to book they give a "system error, try again in a few minutes" if they don't want to honor the price. Can't the regulatory agencies do anything about this practice? Wrong! In researching, i"m learning that many other people are experiencing this. Bad bad bad AA and (if true) governmental agencies for allowing this to go on.

Nothing special, flight delays appear very common for AA. Food mediocre. In flight entertainment not so good. Aircraft need better cleaning. Prices high. Trying to get from point A to point B without stopping at point C for a plane change, impossible! Customer service very poor. I had a first class fight from HNL to BOS with a plane change at DFW. Flight from DFW to BOS cancelled had to fly coach on this leg and was never credited for the price difference.

After a long flight from Vancouver we arrived at DFW at 6:30 pm. Our connecting flight to Birmingham was to depart about 10 pm, after three gate changes , we were told our flight was cancelled. There was no doubt they knew the flight was or would be cancelled at 6:30 but didn't tell us until after 10pm.Their rescheduled flight was the next day through Charolet with a 3 hr layover and get in to Birmingham about 6;30pm.

I left my sport coat on a flight between Nashville and Dallas-Ft.Worth, I asked if they would please go to the gate and get my jacket for me and they said that they couldn't do that! I don't understand as to why when the flight attendant hung my jacket that he didn't put my name on it! Very poor customer service. I called custom service and it didn't matter to them one way or another!

After waiting 18 days for a reply from Customer Service re: my 3rd complaint of the confiscation of 80,000 air miles and the extortion attempt to get me to pay $600 to restore them, I am once again appalled at AA's refusal to do the right thing and restore the miles. The AA Customer "service" motto must be Rule 1 - American Airlines is always RIGHT Rule 2 - if American Airlines is WRONG, see Rule 1..Obviously being wrong is more important than serving customers.

I am a frequent flyer. I mainly flew US Air. The merger of these two airlines has been awful. I had status on US air. With the merger, I still have status, the benefits have been greatly reduced. On more than one occasion the gate attendants and flight attendants have been rude. I like nothing about American Airlines. I wish that it was still US Air.

I had booked a round trip on a international flight. I didn't reach my destination and their left me on a different one. Had to pay out of my pocket to get on another airplane. On my return, I got a call saying if I wanted to fly the next day, I was going to board in the plane and stay there for ten hours at the airport then fly for another fourteen hours until reach my destination. Are you out of your mind?... I don't think I will be flying any time sooner with AA....I am very disappointed and I have no reasons to go through that never again.

US Airways operated by American Airlines on June 12, 2015, delayed more than one hour becauase of technical problems. I couldn't get the plane going to Buffalo on the DC. Thus I had to take another plane bound to Buffalo through Boston about two hours later. As a result I missed the Annual Korean ROTC NA Conference held in Niagara Falls from 5 pm on that day. I arrived at the hotel in Niagara around 12:10 am on the next day. I couldn't eat dinner also.

Any airline in the USA that advertises themselves as a full-service carrier does not deserve a rating above a 5, because none are full service. At least Southwest and others admit they are discount carriers. American charges for food and luggage on domestic flights, which creates chaos before takeoff, and people end up getting their bags checked anyway. So, they get a 3.

my experience with American Airlines has been consistently terrible. The worse was was at O'Hare in Chicago. I was supposed to be on the flight to New Orleans and was pleasantly surprised at the small number of people waiting to board. The plane was at the gate. The announcement was made that the flight was cancelled! The backed the plane out and we were left to try and find another flight! no assistance, no explanation, no help! I don't always have an alternative airline out of New Orleans but I ALWAYS try to fly anybody but American

I would have given a higher score if AA did not start this price surge and new image thing. Dont get me wrong, I do like the new logo. However, they did not just became a luxury airline. Their airfare has gone up 50% as compared to 2 years ago. Those are the same aircrafts and the same service.

The saga continues. Today I requested an upgrade as I was traveling from LAX to MIA at 7:35am. I was 2nd in the upgrade list, the first person was upgraded and as i boarded there were two seats available and they moved a passenger that wasn't even in the list - they called her name out loud - and a second passenger as well, not me, the next in line, here is the kicker, they did took away the three upgrade bonuses needed for the upgrade! American sucks!

On last Friday, poor. They could not get the plane from the hangar (where it spend the night) to the gate so that we could fly to our connection. Then, the missed connection was re-booked for us on a plane that was mechanically challenged and de-commissioned. Then, late to find a replacement in DFW! Total time in airports and waiting = 13 hours for 4.2 hours of flight time. Then, late put me in traffic to go 49 miles in 2.5 hours when I should have already been home! NOT good!!!!

AA used to b my favorite airline back in the day. However, they are the PITS right now. For one, traveling to Barbados (my home) from JFK now takes twice as long, or more, due to the fact that AA no long flies non-stop. The Miami layover is jusT rediculous. Secondly, on a recent flight from JFK to the west coast, my godmother (a senior citizen, mind you), could not even get a cup of coffee on the whole flight over. UNACCEPTABLE. iF i CAN, I WILL NEVER FLY AA AGAIN. THESE ARE JUST TWO EPISODES.

We flew AA for the past 9 years only when we went to the caribbean every January, until USA took them over and changed the schedule so we were locked into staying over night and making each leg a 2 day trip.Now we fly Delta for the same trip and have an easier time with customs in ATL instead of MIA. All the while flying first/business class. I have refused to fly USA all these years due to stories I've heard about their tardiness and mechanical problems.

I certainly understand the need to charge for excess baggage, as well as limiting the amount of carry on for safety reason. What I don't understand is in and industry that is all about transportation why they don't allow the first bag free, and then charge for all the extra baggage. That would help limit the amount of carry on while being reasonable towards their travelers... their clients. It does not cost that much more to allow one bag of a max of 50 lbs. to travel for free.

I have been flying with AA since 93 almost 2 million miles. I have stuck with it through thick and thin. on the average the flights are good, my biggest complain is the flight attendants attitudes and service ! Especially the ones that have been around for a long time, more often than not are very rude and do not give a damn about the passengers. However I always take the time to thank the ones that do their best and represent the company the way it was meant to be done.Lately I have opted to fly other airlines because I just don't want to deal with agrevation.
