I was a Wheelchair Assist’ passenger on a London Heathrow to PHL flight yesterday. The process of getting me and my carry-on bag from the ticket counter to the gate was not good at all. It was the worst in my 5 years of experience using this service offered by American. The Philadelphia ‘Wheelchair Assist’ service was, and always has been Excellent! Not so at Heathrow. I was handed off to three different wheelchair drivers; had to sit in a very dingy holding area for 30 minutes while waiting for our gate change announcement; got crammed into a overloaded service vehicle to take me from the holding area to the gate ; was dumped at the end of the line of already-boarding passengers with my heavy carryon and no one helped me up the ramp way at the gate to board the plane. Overall it was a miserable experience!
Flight was delayed three times and we had an international connecting flight which we would’ve missed but AA manage to find us a flight that allowed us to catch and we made our international flight. However, due to the flight change, I’m in Amman, Jordan missing all 4 bags. It’s been a nightmare. Been waiting since June 17 and today is June 20th. Still without luggage. Customer service wait times are two hours and I get disconnected while waiting. I’ll update when/if my luggage arrives. Every day is costing money in a hotel in Amman. I can’t continue my trip to Palestine until the luggage arrives. Then, I will be updating my review.
They did not offer coffee on a 7am flight…awful!!
Plane temperature was so hot that everyone on the plane was sweating. Departure gates changed 3 times in the hour before the flight. Internet service was so poor in the terminal that updates weren't always being received.
We had a mechanical delay which made us 90 minutes late (9:30 PM) then land and put into the penalty box because a plane was in our gate? What the hell! We should get priority.Damn American.
Check in for 5am flight at RDU was hampered by American check in counters being seriously understaffed , was told even supervisor called out. Took so long in line for special services check in that we missed our 5am departure even after arriving at 3:30am. Had to be rescheduled to later flight from Charlotte to St Thomas.
Delayed flight due to maintenance and I have had multiple delayed flights due to maintenance in the last month plus
Excellent service. Flight attendance like Jessica,, on our flight, is a reason I wouldn’t mind flying through British Airways again. Jessica,, was very courteous and helpful.
The seats were extremely cramped, with very little legroom or personal space. There was no room left in the overhead bins for a backpack, and the space under the seat in front was so limited that I could barely fit my bag underneath. Overall, the seating arrangement felt very uncomfortable and overcrowded.
Significant delays on my trip to Chicago and my trip back to NY
