Wayne, Nov 2025

I like that the crew kept us informed but we moved back and forth from gate to gate before the aircraft arrived.

10.0 Wonderful

Lawrence, Nov 2025

I like how the crew and pilot kept us updated Even though our flight was slightly delayed. We made up time for it in the air. I really did enjoy my seat and amenities and my trip and value overall.

2.0 Poor

Mike, Nov 2025

5 hour delay

6.0 Okay

Donald, Nov 2025

The flight was delayed multiple times, again no fault of American but again the extra cost, for everything makes it feel like a cheap airline! Especially when flights are outrageously expensive already

6.0 Okay

Donald, Nov 2025

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

2.0 Poor

Anonymous, Nov 2025

Horrible. Both legs of my flight were delayed more than 6 hours. No compensation, no screens on the plane, and the plane was not clean.

8.0 Very good

Shirley, Nov 2025

I had a positive experience on American. I'm blind and traveling with a guide dog and the flight attendants were so kind, friendly, and helpful towards us. They checked in on us during the flight and they made us feel comfortable and welcomed. There was an hour delay before depature, but overall the flight was a smooth ride. I appreciate that there were no issues on this long flight back home.
