The boarding process for my American Airlines flight from Copenhagen to Philadelphia was a bit tricky. We experienced a gate change that required a long walk to a new area of the airport. Additionally, boarding was not via a jet bridge; we had to take a shuttle bus to the plane and then carry our luggage up the stairs ourselves. Furthermore, the bag drop didn't open until about 12:20 PM, which was only three hours before our scheduled departure. This meant I couldn't drop my bag off early and had to wait outside of security in order to drop off my bag and use the kiosk. The bag drop self-service kiosks also didn't open until about 12:00 PM when an American Airlines employee unlocked them so that we could print out our boarding passes and bag tags, which further created a backlog. The flight was delayed by over an hour because we had to wait for one of the tires on the plane to be changed. On a positive note, the flight attendant was very professional when handling a passenger who was sitting in the wrong seat. Even though the passenger was persistent and reluctant to move, the flight attendant calmly ensured the assigned passenger could take their seat. Kudos to the flight attendant for keeping his calm and composure, not allowing the issue to escalate, and handling it well under pressure while a line of passengers waited in the aisle to board. The in-flight service was also fast, prompt, and efficient, although service had to be suspended for the last two hours of the flight due to weather and turbulence, which was outside of the crew's control. However, the in-flight entertainment screens and the overall interior of the plane were somewhat older. The system did not offer streaming to personal mobile devices, so we had to watch movies on the seatback screens.

The flight was on time and the landing was very smooth. The crew and flight attendants were all very friendly and professional.
Message about flight cancelation was received late due to being in the air. No explanation, just canceled and booked on morning flight. We had to stay in the airport overnight because there was no transportation offered to get to the hotel that AA had available. Actual inflight was fine.
Bag drop was very disorganized in Miami. All main cabin passengers were shunted to just a few lanes and they had an equal number of lanes for first class passengers but there was nobody on those lines. They did nothing to bring the main cab and passengers over to the open lines and they just had employees standing there and doing nothing
Above and beyond effort from this crew in a tough situation. So helpful and understanding. Thank you!
Staff at the gate were incredibly rude, hostile and threatening. Never fly American Airlines.
Great - quick boarding and landed early with an available gate.
The flight was delayed till next day ! They kept delaying every 30 minutes then after 3 hours they delayed it till next day. We kept waiting in line standing more than an hour to get the hotel and meal vouchers. There was no communication at all. Everything was bad
The flight was great but board was a nightmare. The gate was changed 4 times during the layover period
I don’t think the flight attendants are happy. They do not seem to be friendly or welcoming.
Terrible! Our flight was cancelled. No other nonstop flights available. Had to rent a car and drive 7 hours!
My flight was delayed more than once, but Air Canada updated us regularly. Friends on other airlines had much worse experiences.
Terrible…. Reported missing luggage’s with injectable meds that needed refrigeration. Yet, delivery could not be expedited. Luggage’s were delivered 5 days after arrival. The meds were useless as ice pack had melted. So disappointed!!!
Good but need to be better with the flight times.
After a long flight from Tokyo, our connecting flight home was canceled due to “maintenance” while we were on our layover in Toronto. Very frustrating to close out our honeymoon, although I’m sure others had it even worse during last week’s strike. Air Canada staff at Pearson Airport are the one thing that kept me remotely at peace during this — they were very helpful and deserve a lot of props. But I would not fly Air Canada again.
This was an excellent experience for a very short flight.
The baggage handlers at Toronto did not load anyone's baggage onto the jet. We sat at the carousel in Pittsburgh for a half hour before anyone told us.
Boarding was delayed by 15 min. Next, the flight was to reach in one hour and 14 min. But for 50 Min, we kept circling on the Tarmac, reached late
There should be a charging port in the airlines for our mobile phones.
Flight was canceled/delayed multiple times, leaving us stranded at YYZ for four (4) days. Retrieving the luggage (after flight canceled) was a 5 hrs delay/struggle Two days rebooking did not include two days accommodation voucher (only one was provided). False information was provided for the second day and we did expend 1/2 day at the airport on the second day just sorting out accomodations+food! Next rebooking (due to yet another cancelation) ended up with our luggage left behind (at YYZ) one day later when the plane finally took us to PIT. I wonder how the reimbursement for the additional expenses (food+accomodations) will be... easy or just another nightmare :-(
