dropped my bags at Seattle Delta curbside. 1.5 hours before departure. one bag oversized made it. the other was left at curb and mishandled. poor communication from delta in sjc baggage claim. No internet on flight and food choices in business are horrible. You are forcing us to fly Alaska which is shockingly better than the Delta experience. that is a low bar.

attendents were rude and the boarding was disjointed and poor

There was an incredibly surly flight attendant that ruined the experience

My seat was changed without my consent. It wasn’t a major deal but annoying.

Delta has joint the nickel and diming airlines. The experience is getting worst by the day. 1,000,000 miles for a trip to Asia in Business Class where I got the same thing for just under 90,000 miles through an Asian airline. Where is Richard Anderson? Please come back!

Arlene was a great flight attendant. I also liked how one of the other flight attendants gave us a heads up about snacks and asked everyone to remove their headphones when it was their turn to order. Good idea.

I didn’t like that I could not select my seat and was assigned a seat when I checked in at LAX

Great experience overall. Check in at Austin was congested as they only have about 6 check in kiosks, one was broken, and there was a lot of Spring Break travelers.

Lisa the flight attendent was absolutely wonderful - I loved her energy and you could tell that this crew was amazing family - thank you for making our flight home to LA so very fun! Love and Sun Chips!

App was rather sporadic in working along with Wi-Fi no longer could text and passenger seated next to me was sicker than a dog from LAXLIH also disappointed I couldn’t buy access to sky club with my bonvoy Amex

Bag got checked but I thought one personal item was guaranteed.

First class flight crew was barely available. They came through 3 times while we were on the plane for nearly 4 hours.

Packed flight, which makes it tough on crew and boarding staff (and the customers of course). But this was great boarding, clear instructions, etc. Traveling on the weekends are always fraught with danger as you have families and less frequent flyers thus more confusion. But this flight went as planned.

Overall we had a good experience during our flight from San Francisco to Houston.

The power at the seat didn't work and the seat itself was difficult to adjust - this was a business class seat. Flight attendant gave me miles to compensate. The attendant was very professional and on top of his game the entire flight.

Unbelievably poor service from flight attendants. They didn’t even do water service on a four hour flight. Just disrespectful.

Plane was crowded and even when we hit altitude, the plane was hot, not enough air flow.

Oh my gosh, I loved my experience with United! they made me want to travel more often.

I was refused to used the toilet closes to my seat and had to go to the back of the plane .. it was difficult for me I’m a wheelchair customer

Crew was very cooperative and professional. Passenger's first checked in bag should be free.

Cabin staff were very disengaged, spoke with no eye contact, dismissive. Disappointing compared to my United experiences.

Flight attendants were pleasant and helpful. Pilot gave fair warning about turbulence.

Unfortunately the flight was delayed. On a positive note the status updates in the app/text message were good

extremely tight seats. seating next to a large person makes the space very uncomfortable. The crew is not very friendly either.

The flight was 3 hours and 40 minutes late. The communication around the delays was awful. I fly this route regularly and it is always late. I don't understand it. The flight attendants were not friendly and were generally loud. This was an overall bad look for American Airlines.

Staff are polite,and even offer us to tag our baggages upon seeing us from the entry

The customer representative that helped me when I checked in was horrible as she told me I couldn’t check my bag because I missed the 45minute rule by 2 minutes - because of the line at the counter My connection flight was delayed too

On-time, direct flight is great. Having one bathroom out of order was unfortunate.

I am absolutely furious with American. they shut the door in my face when I was trying to board the flight and kicked me off of it. They made no attempt to call my name or contact me or anything. They just said they gave my seat away. The customer service response has been atrocious. I will never fly this airline again as long as I live.

Worst experience ever, extremely disorganized airline with super rude crew for first class passengers. I have submitted feedback to AA customer care online that this was my worst experience traveling in over 30 years
