Very good overall

2.0 Poor
We had a 2 hour delay that impacted our comanions further travel. I have a feeling AA knows there is a problem at the Cabo airport and does not account for that.

6.0 Okay
My carry on baggage was damaged. Entire trip, I had to carry the baggage. When complained to the boarding crew, they got mad at me and still asked me to valet check in the cabin baggage. Rude boarding crew!!!
G
2.0 Poor
The economy seats are very cramped and the food was bizarre. However, I did like the greek yogurt option for breakfast.
