Long flight but comfortable and not freezing as I have experienced on Hawaiian flights to the islands. They gave us blankets just in case. Nice touch.

Long flight but comfortable and not freezing as I have experienced on Hawaiian flights to the islands. They gave us blankets just in case. Nice touch.

I took seat 15A in anticipation of window seat, there is no window.

Flight late, the waited for a long time for “personal” to arrive at gate to dock the plane in Rochester. So annoying. This flight was expected, why aren’t personel available for the jet bridge?

My recent experience was excellent on Delta! I flew with Delta Comfort and I was really comfortable in my seat. I enjoyed the in-flight service. The flight attendants were so friendly and hospitable. I love the snack on the flight as well. This was my first time flying on Delta and I will definitely consider flying with them again.

My flight was canceled on Sunday. Rebooking took three hours. Had to pay for accommodations another night. New flight was delayed for 5 hours, all that was sent was a 12 dollar food voucher, which doesn’t tell you how to use it. Then when we landed we had to sit on the plane for an hour before we could get off.

I was in first class and literally the men behind me were so aggressively loud I moved myself to economy. This has become so common on Delta - people using audio without headphones, and men on 12am / late night flights drinking and yelling to talk to each other which prevents anyone around them from resting. Pretty crazy to have to move from first to economy (poorer service, less comfort...). Wild wild. Looking into other airlines.

Could not get my connecting flight boarding pass until four hrs before departure! Ver annoying especially since the staff could not explain why!

Flight was delayed by 3-hours and their fix was… complimentary pretzels.

The crew, and fellow passengers, were super gracious and kind. There seemed to be plenty of bin space even though the plane was full. It’s nice to get a glass of wine with dinner in Premiere seating, and there was a lot of food.

Everything I mentioned earlier - the airbus was more comfortable indeed and the experience was further enhanced.

Flight was on-time, boarding was flawless and the crew was friendly.

My flight from LGA was cancelled and my rebooked flight from JFK was delayed numerous times. I will now be getting home after 2am.

I appreciate that I finally got the seat I paid extra for this time. Thank you

It would have been nice if American tried to care.

I booked 1st class, my flights were changed and I was sitting in the middle at the back of the plane. A far cry from the 1st class I purchased for my flights. I am grateful I arrived on time.

There was no beverage service and the only time I saw a crew member walk through the cabin is when we were preparing to land.

Flights were constantly delayed. CRW took 50 minutes to get bags

The flight was delayed multiple times. I was autobooted and placed in the center seat in the last row of the plane.

My flight was delayed. We left at midnight. I got to Greensboro (GSO) at 1am. All of AA's flights in/out of Charlotte always seem to be delayed or canceled. It took me all day on Sunday to get to my destination of Cincinnati from Greensboro. I had to be rerouted through Chicago because my original flight was canceled as the door to plane was closing in GSO. The saddest part is I could have driven and arrived sooner. . . I recognize there is a lot going on that impacts travel. This week it was weather. Yesterday in Cincinnati it was President Trump. But as a frequent flyer, the flight from South Bend to Charlotte always runs late. The subsequent flight to Greensboro is always midnight to 2am. . . I do want to give props the Charlotte boarding crew. They had four flights going out of the same area at the same time. They turned it quickly and mitigated the grumbling from the crowd.

Never had such a lazy first class attendant. Literally spent 60%+ of the flight playing games on her personal phone making up excuses of why she was unavailable.
