I was able to switch seats due to flight being not full but that would be annoying. I also was weirded out that they did not ha e touch screens. In general the plane just seemed old and dirty to me."

Cons: "This is not about Aeromexico. Migratory police is hard now, do not have connections inside the States or you would loose it"
This flight was a horror. Every seat was filled, many of them by passengers coughing and sniffling (including one immediately to my left and another across the aisle to my right). The CO2 level in the cabin peaked at an outrageous 2,847 ppm during boarding and never fell below 1,500 ppm for the entire flight. I wore a mask over another mask and can only hope that that, plus the plane's filtration system, was enough to keep me from getting sick along with every other passenger on that plane. The recording says safety is American's highest priority, but refusing to mandate masks on board when COVID-19 is still a threat shows that the airline's actual attitude toward passenger and crew safety is one of depraved indifference.
Pros: "I like the fact that we finally got despite the inept staff working for American Airlines"
Cons: "More counter people, less gate changes, better flow for boarding, knowledgeable staff"
Cons: "The plane was shaky, and I was extremely nervous about why the plane was doing that. I’ve been on several American Airlines flights and never experienced this."
Cons: "Understanding the COVID situation but they can give more than a bottle of water (3oz) and a bag of pretzels 🥨 (50 grams) and yet they charge full fare prices and worse extra for any bags!!!!"
Pros: "Quick flight time even though we left late."
Cons: "Needed larger plane. The passengers were smashed together in small seats."
Pros: "Crew was attentive and accommodating for seats due to virus."
Cons: "Delays could've been prevented or let passengers know, instead of being on the plane for 2 hours without moving."
Pros: "Crew was awesome...love AA crew! Always and this time superb!"
Cons: "Leg room gets worse and worse...boarding sucked since they took our bags and we felt like it was only us that were singled out!!!"
Pros: "quiet, comfortable. good food in first class"
Cons: "people with "emotional support animals" should board LAST, not first"
Pros: "On time, main cabin extra was great, crew was nice, entertainment was great."
Cons: "No criticism"
Pros: "Our attendant was simply the best I have ever had the pleasure of flying with."
Cons: "Everything was perfect."
