Not a bad flight but a long delay boarding and taking off due to the pilot not arriving on time.

I would have preferred a flight voucher and to hop on a different flight. Delayed over 6 hours.

I almost missed my connection in Chicago due to having to wait on a gate to be open I am assuming. Having to run from E terminal to C terminal and I barely made it there before they closed the door. This may not be the actual airline's fault it's crazy how there is so little time between flight especially when they are placed so far apart in the airport.

The Wi-Fi did not work, so you weren't able to watch entertainment on your own device. They did not have wired headphones so you couldn't watch it on the in-seat entertainment screen either. There was plenty of time to do a drink and snag service but the flight attendants chose not to.

Great experience, boarding was fast and efficient, so much so that we arrived to Chicago very early

The seats on this flight weren’t as comfortable as we had expected. Even leaned back these seats left us feeling crappy in our backs. Also we had to use our own tablets for movies, but nothing in the seats in front of us to hold the tablets up.

3 hour delay…. Nearly 2 hours sitting on tarmac. Do better, United. Or at least have the sense to not say “we hope you enjoyed your flight with us” upon disembarking.

The staff was very friendly. The seats seemed quite small. Overall the flight was pleasant.

Their app did not recognize my Aeroplan frequent flyer number and would not allow me access to my boarding card. Ground staff was readily available at the airport to print it out to me.

My seat had a worn out cushion, which made it a bit uncomfortable. Other than that, the flight was excellent.

The flight de-boarded after being informed of a 3 hour delay. The gate agent said we could go to lounge. The flight ended up boarding 20 minutes later and I missed it.

Flight was delayed half hour before boarding, but when I checked flight aware the plane that would Pick us up had a delay of more than an hour. AA should let us know in advance to avoid waiting several hours in the airport

There was no inflight service. Once we landed we were delayed to find a gate for an hour and a half which was 1/2 the total time in the air.

It was good experience this time. The flight was on time.

The gate agent had a really bad attitude and refused to help me get on the standby list. She just handed me a card and said I needed to call a number. I asked her to help with the AA app on my phone and she just shrugged and said she didnt know. After a few phone calls, I eventually just went to a different gate agent on the other side of the terminal and got the help I needed.

The flight from Buffalo to Chicago was on an older and smaller plane. Seating was tight. Looking closely at the interior of the aircraft there were definitely signs of aging and wear.

Extreme weather delays. Missed my flight to France and I ended up leaving the plane.

I am very disappointed with american. We have flown American airlines numerous times, as well as other airlines and never had such an experience. My son's flight for Sunday afternoon was cancelled around 11 am. We were told not to do anything bec AA would. After an hour of not seeing a change in his flight status. I called AA. I was on hold for half hour then opted for a call back. That call back never came. So I called again, in meantime I started looking online at my options. No flights were leaving that day from AA. But other airlines were flying out. We needed our son in Chicago asap.i kept calling AA for a callback, but never received one. Finally i called back later in the afternoon and a representative answered the call. She told me there were no flights out till Tuesday morning. I asked how this is possible, I had seen flights from AA and other airlines leaving Monday. She said she checked all NYC airports and there were no AA flights till Tuesday AM. Then I asked about getting on another airline. She responded i would be responsible for that. When I asked how AA would reimburse. She became nasty and told me AA has not responsibility to reimburse anything they will put me in a flight for Tuesday morning. When i explained he must be there Monday by 8am, she told me there's nothing to do and practically hung up. At that point I just asked her to book the Tuesday morning flight. I had this experience with other airlines, cancelled due to weather and they and their reps were much more helpful. Either way Tuesday morning flight was delayed as well. Over an hour! I expect more from AA.

The only problem experienced was a ground stop in Chicago due to weather. But the crew handled everything professionally. They prioritized rebooking those passengers who had connecting flights and then deplaning the other passengers. When the hold was lifted, they efficiently re-boarded all the passengers so that we could depart before our departure limit expired.
