Flight from Houston George Bush Airport to Charlotte

They boarded us as usual, but then we had to wait on the plane for a long time until for some reason they had to switch flying crew. The plane was newer, so the seats were semi comfortable in economy class and everything was working. One good thing the crew on the plane asked people to stay in their seats and let people with connecting flight to go first as they were getting late for connecting flights to go further on their destination.

If you have a larger group that needs to stay together the concord coach line is more reliable, clean and cheap down to Portland or Boston for a busier airport. I’ll be avoiding small regional airports until my kids are old enough we can split the family for rebookings

JulieFlew with American Airlines-Jul 2026

Beware of late afternoon/early evening thunderstorms causing turbulence and delay.

SashaFlew with United Airlines-Mar 2026

There was a pretty long line at the Terminal A Standard TSA check however it moved really quickly and I was able to get done in 10 minutes

LindaFlew with American Airlines-Mar 2026

You need to arrive extra early due to long lines checking bags and going through TSA.

PatriciaFlew with American Airlines-Apr 2026

Make sure you have plenty of time between flights. My gate change according to the CLT map on the app was a 22 minute walk. That's crazy!

MichelleFlew with American Airlines-Mar 2026

Not to sit next to the bathroom because people are always using it and the smell is bad at times.

ShashankFlew with American Airlines-Jan 2026

TSA precheck is only on Terminal A side even if you have Terminal B departure. There is an easy walkthrough.

Verified travelerFlew with United Airlines-Dec 2025

Very little room for carry on (40 bags). Chances are high that you’ll be made to check bag.

SusieFlew with American Airlines-Jan 2026

Don’t go cheap and pay for better seats, not at the back of the plane.

JayFlew with American Airlines-Feb 2026

Make sure you eat and charge your electronic devices before flying

ShirleyFlew with American Airlines-Nov 2025

Make sure to check-in to your flight using the American Airlines mobile app. The ILM airport isn't big or busy. It's a small airport, so you don't need to stress getting there.

LeoFlew with American Airlines-Jul 2025

Avoid LAX. Personal experience. I have had less chaotic process in Ontario, CA airport. If transferring through another AA flight, consider Phoenix airport.

VivianeFlew with American Airlines-May 2025

Eat, drink and go to the bathroom before you board. It’s too short a flight for those services to be offered.

Verified travelerFlew with American Airlines-Mar 2025

More time should be given between connecting flights. Large distance to travel from Concourse C to Concourse B.

Don't get a middle seat if you have long legs

Verified travelerFlew with American Airlines-Feb 2025

If you have a connection flight check the monitors, the gate will more then likely change.

LeoFlew with American Airlines-Sep 2024

Have plenty of patience for the casual travelers! They are oblivious of rules and etiquettes that slows down the process for everyone. Case in point, a guy held up the line trying to place both his personal item (should be UNDER the seat in front of you) and his carry on case horizontally. Obviously not aware of the big poster right in front of his displaying the proper way of placing his case on it's side. Slowed the whole line of people behind him. Also be mindful the agents in Ontario airport (or any smaller airports) might not be the most knowledgeable on the rules and regulations of air travel, luggage specification allowances etc. Stay patient!! Also the seats do not recline that well anymore on AA flights. So if you have back problems, be sure to bring some back supports.

ZachFlew with American Airlines-Sep 2024

Charlotte is so crowded partially because of the tight banks American operates plus the construction and just the overall small footprint given the larger aircraft. Bring patience while transiting clt

MichaelFlew with American Airlines-Oct 2024

Book a month or more in advance to avoid paying more than going to South America. Don’t expect your checked bag quickly. They’ve been doing construction for literally years.

Make sure you have plenty of time if you need wheelchair assistance

DONALDFlew with American Airlines-Oct 2024

30 min layover is apparently not enough regarding connecting flights. You really need 45 mins to 1 hr just in case. Because American isn’t going to wait for you.

DarrellFlew with American Airlines-Jun 2024

It doesn’t take long to get through security, but make sure you do it on time!!! Whew

Verified travelerFlew with American Airlines-Aug 2024

The airport is relatively small and easy to navigate.

MatthewFlew with American Airlines-Jul 2024

Nothing special, just make sure to arrive at the gate approximately 45 minutes before boarding, there was some confusion with the number system.

AgnesFlew with American Airlines-Aug 2024

Avoid Charlotte. The mountain weather is so unpredictable, plus the poor recent airline scheduling services, you will be stranded in the mountain with small airport, with limited alternative transportation methods. The airlines had been delaying the flights and stringing you for a few hours, then cancelling your flights and simply letting you re-schedule your own next legs with the existing flights, which may or may not take off. Airlines have not been courteous enough to schedule more flights to accommodate the canceled ones. If you cannot avoid Charlotte, be prepared to be stranded for extra 1-2 days before you can get out to your final destination.

MichaelFlew with American Airlines-Apr 2024

Book a month in advance or you’ll be paying rates that could get you to a foreign country.

SamanthaFlew with American Airlines-Mar 2024

Leave enough time to get to the airport and be ready for delays

jonFlew with American Airlines-Apr 2024

If there are issues with the plane you could be there a long time. We were there for over 4 hrs. Missed connecting flights. Be proactive. If you are going to miss your connecting flight ask if you can be rerouted. Don’t accept poor customer service. Remember. They are not looking out for you. Be proactive.

RobertFlew with American Airlines-Jan 2024

Be careful of short layovers because the airport in Charlotte can be quite busy and walk times can be long between gates

Dr. JosephFlew with American Airlines-Jan 2024

Be prepared to walk long distances in Charlotte. Make sure your layover time is sufficient to transition between arrival and departure gates.

Don’t red eye if you have to work the next day

MariFlew with American Airlines-Jan 2024

Bring a blanket it's very cold on plane

ShannonFlew with American Airlines-Jan 2024

Prepare not to have working WiFi in the Cancun airport. The airline staff are slow in their approach in resolving scheduling issues. Avoid scheduling layovers in Charlotte.

RogerFlew with American Airlines-Jan 2024

Don't take flights with very short connections in Charlotte.
