Great trip. No complaints. Impressed with the crew’s response to various challenges pre-boarding.

We were 35 minutes late because the caterer had not stocked the plane. Plane was fully loaded and ready to go 15 minutes before departure time. We sat there 35 minutes?

The seats are too small/crowded. It is frustrating to be forced to sit with someone who is overweight as they crown the other seat. Nothing against the person…just the airline companies who continue(over decades!)to reduce seat sizes. Americans are fat. Those of us who are not are tired of being compromised by the airline companies who don’t faces that fact and make adjustments. Maybe have “overweight seats”? Maybe give us a discount for being forced into an uncomfortable flight due to others overweightness? Please, make adjustments…be accountable. Thanks!

I flew standby with my two children and completely forgot it was Memorial Day weekend. We tried to fly from PDX to YVR. Unfortunately, after four attempts, we gave up and tried SEA instead after the holiday. The ground crew was very helpful, checking us in and accommodating us when we were finally able to get on a flight. The sad part was that they accidentally loaded one of my suitcases on the Vancouver flight without us during one of our attempts to get on a flight, even though it had a standby tag on it. I filed a report with baggage services, and thankfully, it was returned to PDX the following day. AS was in touch with us and updated us on the process of returning the luggage to the USA.

Internet was great. It was nice to watch a movie. The crew was very nice.

On this flight there wer only 25 people on board. So no one in 5 rows ahead of me and noone in 7 rows behind me. So very chill.

Considering my flight to Portland was in a broken chair that I had paid extra for, this one was great. So yeah, wonderful.

Some food or at least snacks need to be offered on long flights. I thought I had ordered food for my husband and I prior to the flight, but was told during the flight that I had not. Perhaps, if you must charge extra for food, let people order on board. We did get some food, which evidently others had decided they didn’t want onboard, but it wasn’t very good. We did like the adherence to takeoff and landing times, and the quick return of our luggage.

Our meal order was screwed up. We had to choose from basic boxes. I was not happy.

very nice blankets and comfortable seats. great service. Great flights.

No gluten free snacks. Seats felt worn or bare bones even though it was a new 737 MAX 8.

One major problem that was very unprofessional and uncalled for. Plane landed and we had to wait 20 minutes to get off the plane since they were waiting for someone to come to the gate to drive the jetway. Southwest couldn't have someone available and waiting for the plane to land? Is there only one person in Hobby airport who knows to drive the jetway? Was he at lunch? In the bar? Uncomfortable and uncalled for!

Southwest is kind of a slum airline. It’s gotten more expensive over the years for less and less service. I am a Southwest Chase Visa card holder and was forced to choose a seat in the 26th row in the middle seat. However my wife who is a rewards member but doesn’t hold a card or anything else, gets randomly assigned a normally paid seat in row 6! How does that work?

The seat was not comfortable. 1D. My back was sore all night and the next day.

One of the best airlines for fast boarding, on time arrivals, and top notch service!

I elected to pay for the upgrades and found very little difference

The new seating arrangement is so over priced for what you get.

Snacks are always pretzels. Why can't you also offer peanuts ?

Flight was hours late, unable to sit next to spouse, I have had so much better experiences. Substantially better, only saving grace was that it was a short flight.

An entire day of delays. Cost lots of money. Meals and a hotel.

Horrible. Faucet in sink not working, wifi not working. Didn’t bring food or snacks

Flight was delayed before take off and at landing. Baggage took 20 minutes. Flight crew would not serve full soft drink and had to ask multiple times before receiving water.

From checking to boarding, it was a seamless experience. The service agents were so helpful. The flight crew was so pleasant.

Gate agent showed up 20 minutes before boarding and was not at all friendly. Had to take this flight due to the one on the day before being cancelled and any later options were already full with long standby lists. Despite having paid for Delta Comfort seats, Delta did not allow me (or anyone) to choose their seat. The agent assigned them for everyone just prior to boarding. Self seat selection was allowed on the original flight. Flight staff was great - very friendly.

Flight attendants were great. Cheerful, upbeat and friendly. Jet, in particular, was fantastic.

I have Precheck. Flew HPN to DEN and return this past weekend. Delta didn't attach my Precheck number to this trip. So it was waiting in general line especially in Denver. Unavailable.

Original flight was delayed, then cancelled and the gate staff did not expedite rebooking. Also, no instructions were given that a ticket number was needed before being called to facilitate rebooking. This could have been much more organized.

Be on time? When not on time a circling for over an hour offer more than 1 bag of chips to the passengers? It was a 7 hour flight by the time we got done.

Five hour delays every hour, I wish it were all at once

Flight delayed four separate times. I’m now one hour hours late to landing.

This planes staff was top tier. Everything went great and had a great flight home.

The pilot had to extend the flight time from san antonio to Houston to burn off fuel. This caused a lot of unnecessary stress since we had a tight connection to Aruba. And with no other flights going to Aruba we were worried about spending a night in Houston. We had to to run to our connection because of the flight crews mistake. Not happy.

The flight was delayed, they didn’t even have water for the toilets or for drinks

Even through the flight was delayed due to storms near IAH The flight was great! The crew was so hospitable and professional

The flight had a delay but I made it to my connection. Flight was smooth overall

No screens or meal options. Freezing cold. Dirty seats. Left late.

Overall flight was ok. Flight attendant was receptive to assisting passengers with tight connections.

This was the first flight in the morning. We boarded fine. The cabin door was closed and we were ready to go. We were notified by the Captain that ATC issued and ground stop for 40 minutes. So, without even pushing back from the gate, we were already 40 minutes late. We actually were released to push-back and taxi at 30 minutes. But, some passengers had tight connections and were not going to make their connections. Some passengers asked about the delay and the effect on the connections and were told by the cabin attendant that all flights will be delayed and so they should be OK. However, that was not true. My connecting flight was on time and I arrived at IAH with 21 minutes to make my connection. I did and I'm happy about that, but the flight crew should not have given assurances to the passengers who might have missed their connections.

Boarding was again a "free for all". We were boarding group 4, and almost the entire plane was able to board before us. It's a shame that someone who follows the rules, gets the short end of the stick. Not fair.

Fine. The issues I had were associated with luggage being delayed from Turkey to Tanzania

Flight had mechanical issues and it was delayed 30 mins - some of us boarded and then had to deplane.

Awfully rude American worker at door when we started boarding flight. Then, walk into a blazing hot airplane with no air conditioning until twenty minutes into the flight. Free entertainment was non existent! My husband, along with the fellow passenger in our row, and I could not get entertainment to work, no WIFI! Really?? Been flying American a long time. Was very disappointed.

Leave on time. We waited on the plane for hour hours and it was hot and smelly

I’ve got 31F seat and window seat . My 2 co passengers was AA crew members and they were very rude attitude and when I was going to use bathroom their gestures was very different and awkward and the guy beside me completely occupied the hand rest and I was really uncomfortable

The gate experience at LAX was abysmal (same for the arrival experience two days prior). Despite the LAX -> SAT schedule of two flights daily, our departure gate was at a smaller hub that we had to be bussed to from Terminal 4. Fortunately, I arrived at LAX extra early and had time to spare, but if I had not known, I might have missed my flight. I looked at the LAX airport map in the AA app and there was no indication of the additional boarding process. Lastly the gate area we were bussed to was crowded with limited food and beverage options. On flight, the fight attendant was hospitable and attentive, the flight was smooth, and AA's free (and working) wifi for AA members were all on the positive side.

The flight back to Dallas was delayed, which has happened to me several times with American Airlines. There was no announcement, no update sent out, no compensation offered for the inconvenience.

As always, most AA flights that we fly are almost ALWAYS delayed and that too multiple times. Very frustrating

Boarding was smooth and seamless and the flight was without incident.

Food is what you expect on a plane. Nothing gluten free. But that is expected. Drinks, apple juice, was fine. Seat, what I expected. Fine.

The flight took off an hour late which made the connection concerning
