Raleigh to Chicago was OK. The problem was Chicago to Lincoln. Flight was delayed 4 hours. Give them credit for the updates and reason why it was delayed

Raleigh to Chicago was OK. The problem was Chicago to Lincoln. Flight was delayed 4 hours. Give them credit for the updates and reason why it was delayed

Comfortable seats and good crew. There should be some breakfast options in menu for economy class to purchase Wifi was not working in the flight

On time. Accommodated carry on and personal bag in the plane. Good entertainment available and access without using own device. Gave a whole can of juice rather than a pour. Seat did not recline much.

Good, our flight was delayed but that was totally out of their control due to weather and a presidential visit.

The price. Omg $1100. Was crazy and it was not clear on the website.

Excellent. I had a medical emergency on flight SNA-ORD and the attendants were very helpful.

Usual wait for over a half hour for a gate at Ohare. They tell you you'll get there early then sit on the plane and wait almost an hour

1 flight cancelled Had to fly out of different city Flight at new departure city was delayed 3 hours causing us to miss connecting flights. By the time we did make it to Prague our luggage did not. Had to wait day and a half for luggage to be delivered. Customer service was not good. Agents did not arrive at gate until 5-10 minutes before boarding

It was better than excellent. The staff in Mason City were great. The young woman that pushed my wheelchair did more than could be expected of her. She came from India 17 years ago. I don't remember her name.

I had requested wheelchair assistance prior to flight. The airport staff had no record of it. It was not provided at Cedar Rapids which was a small airport, so I managed on my own. At O'Hare airport the same thing happened. The staff told me they had no record of my request for a wheel chair. But they finally provided it after a delay when I insisted that I needed it.

It would be helpful to be able to download an eticket from either American airlines or Cathay Pacific; not just Cathay Pacific.

Another American Airlines flight, another significant delay. At least this one wasn't canceled like many others have been. This time we sat on the runway at LaGuardia for 2.5 hours. By my count that is 7 American flights the last three months that have been delayed 2 hours or more or canceled entirely.

There was no clear update on the flight until last minute and made it an hour delay. No clear flight aircraft or incoming flight which we will be boarding. We would plan accordingly for our connecting flight. This is one one the worst service, I also had to buy an another ticket with different ai carrier. American airline was not letting me plan my trip, made us just waiting. Not a good service at all.

The plane was delayed after we boarded - although they sent an email to my work email (which I did not get until later) there was no announcement from the PA about the delay in flight. Fortunately, they made up the time in the air and we landed around the original time.

My luggage was lost at some point during my layover between Chicago and LHR. I landed Tuesday morning, and did not get it until Thursday night. Ironically, the people at the ticket desk had added a “priority” sticker to my tracking tag.

My experience was fine, with one surprising exception. After leveling off at cruising altitude, the main cabin flight attendant made an announcement that he had a cold, so he would not be coming through the aisle to provide cabin service. He claimed this was in consideration of his health and safety and ours. However, if passengers wanted a beverage, he invited them to come to the back of he plane, where he would provide service. I understand that a flight attendant's primary responsibility is to ensure passenger safety, but a secondary role is to provide service. If this flight attendant was too sick to perform his duties - and if he truly cared about passenger health and safety , as he claimed - he should have stayed home and called in sick, rather than exposing the cabin to his germs.

The flight was delayed multiple times. Breakfast was not served and only an apology given and statement that we could find better pastries in Paris. Seats were extremely narrow and uncomfortable.

The plane was experiencing problems with the HVAC system, it was very cold in the front of the plane and very hot in the back.

The boarding process needs to be fixed. The zone don't work, especially when there is hardly anyone in zones 3, 4,and 5, leaving the majority of the passengers backed up in the aisle, especially because passengers seated near the front are blocking passengers who are seated in the rear of the plane. It would also help if the size of carry on bags was more strictly enforced.

Delayed, missed connecting flight, ground crew double charged for international charges, were super rude and told me to just”deal with it” when I complained. Horrible airline, very frustrating.
