London to Atlanta was good. Atlanta to Phoenix was not. Poor boarding as I had to check my rollerboard even though there was plenty of room in the bins. Crew seemed inexperienced. Sat just off the gate for nearly 30 minutes with no explanation from the pilot while the cabin got hot. I typically have a much better experience with Delta.
I had only one problem. The temperature on the flight was too COLD. I froze throughout the flight. I thought it might be only my problem but when I went to the restroom during the flight, I saw several people huddling in their jackets. A couple had their winter coats on and I was jealous since I had only a very light jacket.
We departed early and made up time in the air allowing us to arrive 30 minutes early. Capt was incredibly genuine and thanked every passenger for flying with Delta. Completely humble and professional!
The boarding process needs to be refined. Sometimes the gate crew calls out the zones and then flip to showing the.zones boarding on the gate monitor display. So, unless you are huddled around the gate lanes watching the monitor, you could miss your boarding zone. Suggest the zones be announced each time a new zone is allowed to board.
My only complaint on any flight is meals but your gnocchi was good. The worst is breakfast. I can’t understand why you don’t just serve something simple like yogurt, fruit and a muffin or cinnamon roll.
This route with Delta always has delays or is cancelled. Aircrafts seem smaller and older. I fly Delta quite a bit - haven’t had issues with the international flights. But this route has always been the troublesome one
On 2 different flights the wifi was horrible and there was no drink or snack service.
There was no FREE wi-fi nor entertainment screens at all.
Great, on time departure, friendly and accommodating crew, great leg room, Smith flight
As we lined up to board they gave our plane to a flight going to Newark. So then we got delayed until they could find another plane. Flight crew was ok. I’m assuming since it’s a shorter flight they only offered water and coffee.
Flight was 3 hours delayed. They gave our plan to two other routes. Need to knock that off.
We called Kayak for a change due to the TSA situation in Atlanta. What we got was a canceled return flight (in error) and we had to find the mistake. Not happy with Kayak who blamed it on AA.
Small plane, poor meal choices for first class, bad terminal and boarding experience at LAX
Boarding delayed 20 minutes for no reason, no wifi, in flight entertainment, or snacks / waters?
This flight captain and crew were amazing, started ahead of time of departure and reached 30 mins before arrival time. Amazing!
Improvements in communication and empathy are absolutely necessary for American Airlines staff (top down). It’s like they are numb to the needs of their customers.
I had a TERRIBLE experience with the AA crew. I believe it was disability-related. It’s unlikely I will fly AA again.
I like the speed of boarding and deplaning and the fact that everything was on time. The crew (attendants) were probably quite new and did not begin the in cabin service until 30 min before landing even though there was little to no air turbulence for the last 1.5 hours of the flight. It made for a mad scramble at the end to get trash collected and carts stowed before touch down.
Overall, my experience with American Airlines in this trip wasn’t great. Our baggage didn’t make it on the flight to Denmark, and the baggage service (3rd party) didn’t seem to be fully connected with the American Airlines system. We ended up having to go back to the airport the next day to get our luggage back. I’m sure it would have eventually been delivered to my hotel, but I wasn’t willing to keep waiting. My return flights were good until arriving in Philadelphia. It was a nightmare to have to go through TSA check again before going to our connection. That made everything even more stressful. We then had a tarmac delay of about 25 minutes. That delay put my next connection in jeopardy in Chicago, but we still would have had just enough time. However, we had to wait about 30 minutes on the tarmac in Chicago since a plane was at the gate we needed. Even though I ran to the next gate, we missed the last leg of our flight. It was going to be 2 days before we could get another flight, so we tried to rent a car, but there was none available. Our last choice was to take an Uber and fork over $400+ for a 3 1/2 hour trip. All of the extra stress was completely avoidable if AA had been able to follow through with their obligations.
Pros: "The flight crew were very nice. I needed help boarding and departing, and they were there every step of the way."
Cons: "Not very much room, no alcoholic drinks available, couldn’t connect to WiFi for inflight movie."
The crew made it a great flight. They were friendly and attentive. They made me want to fly British Airways again.
BA has not been handling priority luggage with any special priority. This time our luggage was distinctly very slow to arrive, well after the first half of items to arrive. Business class flights cost a lot and it would be nice to have that reflected in the speed of baggage handling! (I note that this has worsened in our long experience of BA.) On a different note, we spent 2.5 hours on the plane after landing because of an airport mishap at Boston Logan. The pilot provided reasonably frequent update but more could have been done to ensure passenger comfort, such as more beverage and maybe snack services.
Food is horrible. Flight was good and the staff were mostly men.
Delayed suitcase - terrible service to get my suitcase next day, I was informed it would arrive today in the afternoon (Jun/28). Now, I was informed I may or may not receive it until 3 am (Jun/29).
Not only were the aircrafts spacious, but the crew was friendly and efficient. I was so gracious for the included meals on the longer flight (8+ hours).
THE CONFIGURATION OF THE BUSINESS CLASS SITS ARE AWFUL!!! I WILL NEVER FLY BUSINESS CLASS ON BRITSH AIRWAYS AGAIN.
Honestly it was not great. I bought the plane tickets months prior to flying. The trip there was fine, though I found the mini beer offered on the flight a bit chintzy. The food was actually quite terrible both ways. I suppose that is somewhat to be expected. However, the return flight experience was awful. They did not have a seat assigned for me so I ended up "Flying Standby" on a flight I had purchased tickets for. This only complicated things when we arrived at Heathrow where I had to be assigned a seat on the next plane before getting through security. That added 15 minutes to the ordeal because there was no one to answer the phone for the security personnel. The security lines were backed up because people. It took another hour to get through and I almost missed my return flight due to them not having assigned me a seat number. Stupid.
They ran out of earphones so my 3rd daughter couldn’t use the on board entertainment the entire flight. They also ran out of food choices (chicken or cheese) by the time they got to the last few rows, so my oldest daughter, wasn’t given a choice. Luckily she isn’t a vegetarian because they only had chicken left.
Food not so good. Need more veggies and whole grain especially the late food. Couldn’t figure out how to use the entertainment system.
Boarding was organized and fast. Food was good and service was great. Tight seats and packed flight.
