Ninth consecutive American flight I have been on that was delayed
Efficiency of supporting mechanical teams who changed a wheel on airplane in minutes. So no delay, and pilot made up the lost minutes in flight. Comfortable seat.
We had multiple delays and a medical incident during the flight. We barely got a glass of water during the over 4 hours we were on the plane. Somehow first class got all of their service. It would be nice if all of your paying customers got the service they paid for.
Got home at 3am after deboarding the plane. No compensation offered by American
2 hour delay due to equipment failure. No updates via the app and airport screens (which continued to show a departure time in the past). AA eventually switched planes and the new plane was not catered or cleaned correctly.
Lower WiFi prices; allow us to see our flight on a map; more variety of drink choices.
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.
You can plug your phone in & use their wifi to watch movies, etc, but the plane’s wifi was disconnected for most of the flight.
Awful. We had an 8 hour mechanical delay- no vouchers and no kind/courtesy/professional representatives in the entire airport. Not only was it a terrible experience for both my 7 year old and myself, I still have not heard back from American about how they’re going to correct it- I’ve sent 2 or 3 emails about our experience- which was just awful. Not to mention according to national traveling laws, we should be reimbursed… but of course they’re not responding.
I find it amazing that American Airlines does not cull the bad apples out of their company. I avoid Southwest, Spirit & and Frontier. Their prices are many times half of the price of American but I see too many videos of people fighting on these flights. I expect a certain upgrade in the quality of personnel from AA. On the Ticket, it states boarding will end 15 minutes before flight time. We arrived 16 minutes before flight time. We were told we were too late and the gate agent held up her phone and it stated we were 16 minutes before flight time. I would need to go to customer service to rebook. We walked to customer service and explained our issue to the gate agent. The CS person said, I need to see your ticket & I placed my phone on the counter since we did not have printed tickets. She folds her arms, leans back in her chair & says she is not going to be disrespected. She called a supervisor. We waited 15 minutes and no one showed. I asked the CS agent her name & she would not tell me. There was an arrogance that should not be allowed by American Airlines from any employee. The agent next to her said she also would not help us get booked on the next flight at 6 pm flight. We had to go out to the ticketing area & through security again. The agent in the ticket area was incredibly pleasant. He made every effort to help us. On the next flight at 6 pm, the gate agents were all smiles, joked with us and we were on our way back home. No issues.
