Find Cheap Flights from Daytona Beach to Chicago (DAB - CHI)

Boarding was easy. clean plane, crew was very friendly. I was very concerned though, when we banked left and did a complete circle in the air. An explanation from the captain would have been terrific. I made sure I was the last one to leave the plane and asked him about it when I saw him at the exit. He told me what happened but I would have liked to know while it was happening. Besides that, the coke and pretzels were divine. :)

coffee was horrible

Nothing... Entire experience horrible for my 17 year old.

Everything. Will never use American Airlines again

First class

The gate agent helped half a dozen people (not including those described below) understand they were boarding with the wrong group.

Fully one-quarter of the passengers boarded as disability or premium. This included a party of eight that boarded with one person in a wheelchair because "We're all together."

boarding and gate agent were superb

temperature in the cabin was hot enough to roast a turkey

Friendly crew

Having to pay extra $$ for seating and not enough together

Arrived twenty minutes late. AA refused to accept responsibility for this and compensate me, even though my transportation had departed without me as a result of their tardiness.

Seats, video and overall comfort are all very nice on the new 900's.

Nothing.

The in flight entertainment and the pilot being informative about what was going wrong at the Atlanta airport.

The insane process that followed the flight of rebooking - it would have been VERY HELPFUL to have access to the inflight internet so that I could have rebooked my missed connection before we landed in the ATL airport where it was past midnight and there were hardly any staff available for us to talk to and the lines to speak to anyone took literal HOURS to get through.

I arrived at my destination

AA changed my flight plans which resulted in a 4.5 hour layover in Philly. The gates were filthy, there is not much selection for in-flight food and nothing for entertainment. I couldn't even find an outlet that worked at the gate.

The crew was excellent, timing was superb,

crew was great

staff from de-icing company failed to show, despite >24h of notice of snow; missed our connection baggage handlers destroyed suitcase

Row 19 on a 737ER is great for room, as long as you don't plan on reclining (I rarely do in a daytime flight)

A little overcautious regarding seating the cabin crew because of possible turbulence, but better safe than sorry, I suppose. However, it is a common occurrence on this particular leg, so don't board knowing you might need to take a "break" before you get to Atlanta.
