Dawn C, Dec 2025

A little late at the start but all worked out well.

10.0 Wonderful

Jolene, Dec 2025

It was fine. No drinks nor snacks offered though. I thought that was unusual.

10.0 Wonderful

Jolene, Dec 2025

I liked the humor of the captain and crew on the flight from Flagstaff to Dallas. They were humorous.

2.0 Poor

Juan Manuel, Dec 2025

AA delayed the flight for 3 hours and 50 minutes, but delayed the last 2 hours, 30 minutes at a time, so if we knew before, could have stayed at home and worked instead of being at the airport wasting time... The plane's crew was excellent, not their fault.

2.0 Poor

ying, Dec 2025

After arriving in Dallas, the aircraft taxied for an unusually long time and was unable to park at the gate, which caused a significant delay and made me miss my connecting flight. I then had to wait in a very long line to be rebooked, and I was told that no hotel or meal accommodations would be provided. What is even more unacceptable is that my luggage was mishandled and has still not been located. My suitcase contains important medications that I urgently need, and I have been unable to access them due to the airline’s mishandling. This situation has caused me considerable stress and inconvenience, and I need this issue to be resolved immediately.

4.0 Mediocre

Anuj, Dec 2025

Old plane. Terrible seats. Staff was horrible.

6.0 Okay

Sarah, Dec 2025

RIC Staff was not enough. Elderly passengers had to wait 30 minutes to deplane, so we could board and still had to walk as no chairs were provided. And, passenger in front of my seat assignment rammed seat against my legs entire flight time. Was mildly bruised and left thigh still sore.

10.0 Wonderful

Jolene, Dec 2025

Liked that it was on time. Staff professional and friendly.

8.0 Very good

Jolene, Dec 2025

Things were delayed a little. But that didn’t affect my plans. It was fine. I was surprised it was so full thanksgiving day. The crew were friendly and professional.
