Lounges are packed and very poor, food is really bad, for business class in an airline is well below expectations
My suitcase was destroyed. The top part where the handle is is completed broken. And unusable now.
I had a bad experience with the security at IAH and felt like a sardine on all 4 legs of my journey.
The care and attention for my flight was great. The seats were not as comfortable.
The ground crew in Houston were not friendly. The security staff were very rude and reflected an attitude of superiority with rude remarks.
The flight from QRO to IAH had some turbulence on the way up and again a lot of turbulence when landing.
It started with multiple delays, cancellations, re booking, 5 hour lay over and finally on a plane from Chicago to Pittsburgh. Gates, times, etc were changed multiply times. Once on the plane, staff was fine, but built in tv did not work and could not even turn it off. Light at eye level the entire trip, so sleeping was near impossible. No snacks or drinks given.
Terrible. 2 hour delay. Sat on the tarmac. Missed my connecting flight. Had to ARGUE with Customer service to get a hotel and food. Terrible experience with my loyal carrier
I liked the exit row seat. Hated the distance between gates in Houston.
The overall ambiance was good. Seating ain the last row not so pleasant.
Crew was clearly not loving their jobs at any point of the entire trip. Flight back from Mexico, I asked if they had food for sale for the 2.5+hr flight and they did not have any. The business class trip to Mexico also had noted that the catering company forgot to load food. The last leg of trip back had a similarly unhappy crew, a broken toilet, and my seat was broken (reclining would not lock which made landing a crossfit like event). This was a bad week for AA.
The inflight staff is never the issue always the extra and charges american charges! Literally 30 bucks for WiFi! Is insane and then it’s choppy and slow. If you pay for it once you don’t need to pay again for switching aircraft especially when there is flight delays
flight was good until we arrived at cmh ten minutes early but then sat on tarmac for twenty minutes because a plane was at our gate, so we had to wait despite the pilot tellling us that 3 other gates were open.
On time arrivals and departures. Gate boarding notices could be better if displayed on monitor.
American Airlines Suck. AA did not deliver us to the airport we paid for to Tulum. Instead, we were flown into Cancun and had to take a shuttle to Tulum. Instead of arriving at 4 PM, we arrived at 11:30 PM - not to mention that our initial booked flight was due into Tulum at noon. The latter flight was canceled and rebooked (to the 4 PM arrival). We lost a day of vacation. Oh, I forgot that AA provided a lunch voucher for $12. Noting, the least expensive item on the menu at the airport restaurant was green beans for $9.99. The return flight from Tulum was delayed two or three times for no reason other than that it was NOT related to the weather. We arrived late for our connecting flight from DFW to STL. Luckily, the connecting flight was delayed. We hurried through Customs and ran through the airport to make our flight to STL (or we would have missed that flight).
2/29/2025: Tulum to DFW. Delay as usual with no explanation from AA. Three friends and I had a connecting flight from DFW to STL. We would have missed the latter without the delayed connecting flight, dashing through customs, and running through the airport. Did I mention our trip to Tulum on American was rerouted to Cancun and shuttle from Cancun to Tulum, arriving at our resort destination at midnight vs the 4 PM scheduled arrival? AA provided a lunch voucher for $12.00. The least expensive menu item was $9.99 for green beans. I will avoid traveling with AA as much as possible.
Lack of communication with customers through the delays and poor audio during boarding. No assistance to serve a number of customers with limited time between connecting flights. Lack of empathy from staff. Rebooked on a flight that seemed solely for purposes of taking those that missed their connection the night before. The hostess at the gate arrived late and never expressed any form of compassion or friendliness toward passengers. Just get them on board, so I can go in with my life. Will never fly AA again.
It was great! Boarding and taking off on time, good crew—thank you!
Great Team on the flight. I was the only one in the exit row and the flight attendant just sat down and we had a talk about my responsibilities sitting in the exit row. It was very humorous. During the flight every time one of the flight team members made eye contact, they smiled. It was a small thing, but it was a friendly environment.
It is the worst service I have ever found in Business Class in 39 years of traveling. The guy in the area was not qualified to work as a flight attendant. Dress, attitude and delivery was inadequate.
