I appreciate how quickly and kindly the people at the gate at DCA accommodated several of us who wanted to switch from the 6pm flight to the 5pm flight at the last minute. The flight crew was helpful to us too (dealing with luggage).
Waited on tarmac to take off for approximately 15-25 minutes. When landing, the taxi to our gate took a similar amount of time. This happened on both of my United flights.
Fine except from Chicago to moline three different gate changes and flight times
When booking, the connection times seem fine. But in reality, my two connections were cut short by the first leg being delayed due to issues at the destination (too much traffic going into SFO, ORD) and it became extremely stressful.
Flight and crew were great. Need more legroom and do not allow seats to recline.
We arrived to Chicago nearly 30 minutes early, which was great, but then was on the ground for over an hour because the gate was not available. The issue I had was the pilot estimation was frustrating. First he said he was informed it would be 20 minutes but he said "it will probably be more like 10 minutes". After 30 minutes he came back on the comm and said it would be another 10 minutes, maybe 20. I understand he was only giving estimates but he also layered in his own gut feel. We were never told why we didn't have a gate even after our scheduled entry.
Just sat on the run way after we arrived early
Stored my cloth purse under seat in front off me as instructed. When I retrieved it, half of it was soaked, along with everything inside it. I don’t really know how that could have been prevented because the area did not look wet, but I was not happy about it.
It cancelled and we were unable to catch our connecting international flights.
Door to door, the crew and staff were amazing. It was a stressful travel day with delays, but they were focused on customers and doing what they could to get us to our destinations.
All good. Easy check in and boarding. Lovely flight crew
WiFi broken, very long wait for valet bags, and the typical long wait at O'Hare on a thursday to get clearance to take off and then again long taxi and wait for the gate.
The now boarding notification was not updated in the app until I was actually on the plan. This si a massive fail considering my flight was delayed several times. These types of failures add stress that could be avoided since I no longer feel comfortable leaving the boarding area to get food or visit a lounge. Had I used the notification from the app, I would have missed my flight. The secondly, the process of connecting to wifi on aa flights is clunky and could be streamlined better. the copy and past process feels like MVP, and you are well beyond that stage.
Both flights were late leaving due to repairs/switching gates. The crew and pilots, however, were professional and courteous. Most importantly, we arrived at our destination safely. The seats were comforable. That size should be standard for all economy class. American could improve its boarding process. I am not sure why you need 9 groups for a small regional plane.
It was close to its perfect the flake could be took off early, landed early, didn’t have to wait for my daughter stroller luggage came out quick, very efficient, very good flight
The amount of gate changes and delays is completely unacceptable. This has happened on 3 of 4 trips between Chicago and Dallas in 2026.
The delay update was very late. I had a stressful short connection and RAN through Chicago to get to the next flight, only to find the plane wasn't at the gate yet an nobody was boarding. I would not have had to run if the delay was updated earlier.
AA delayed the flight for 3 hours and 50 minutes, but delayed the last 2 hours, 30 minutes at a time, so if we knew before, could have stayed at home and worked instead of being at the airport wasting time... The plane's crew was excellent, not their fault.
The flight got canceled due to mechanical issues, and he to be rebooked and missed my appointments for that day
Delayed flights and lost bags. It was a terrible experience this time.
