10.0 Wonderful
The flight was very smooth and the meal in business class was great.
A
10.0 Wonderful
The captain brought my 6 year old son into the cockpit and allowed him to ask questions, sit in the captain’s chair and talk about all the gears and levers. Made the trip very special for him.
A
8.0 Very good
I take this flight about 6-8 times per year. It is convenient and saves an hour or two by skipping PDX, SEA, PHX, or ORD (but it takes longer to get bags to the carousel than Alaska Airlines). I wish the food service were better (but they might cut back on it because it is a red-eye). The WifI seems to go down about an hour out of Anchorage, and then comes back about an hour later...so be warned if this is an issue for you.
K
4.0 Mediocre
Seat 19d had a broken and tilted table
R
6.0 Okay
Original flight was canceled and rescheduled for the next day. Cancelation notice was sent in the middle of the night (only saw it in the morning), leaving no room to find other options. No offers to reimburse for the extra expenses or compensations. My flight to Rio on 12/12 was also delayed for 16 hours. This seems to be the new normal for AA.
K
8.0 Very good
Better service. No food options, but we did get drinks and a cookie.
K
8.0 Very good
Boarding was organized and timely. Food was mediocre, especially for first class travel.
J
2.0 Poor
the flight was 4 hours late
L
6.0 Okay
Delayed, turbulent, other than that good
E
2.0 Poor
We were 4+ hours delayed. AA is absolutely obnoxious. They just kept pushing back the time to the point where we did not get into Vegas until after midnight when we were supposed to arrive like 845pm.
