Red eye from San Diego. Temperature of the cabin was way too warm and the air duct flowed very little air.

Red eye from San Diego. Temperature of the cabin was way too warm and the air duct flowed very little air.

I don't know why flying out of Sarasota requires two plane changes.

mandatory demand customer to check their carry on because not enough people check bags.

No trays in our seats, we sat in first row, purchased a business class fare. Had to hold our drinks and snack in our hands. No plugs for our cell phones. Had to pay for it a drink cocktail each. Seats so uncomfortable.

Bring back peanuts Take our drink orders when were all seated, especially after you switch to assigned seating.

Great flight, 47 passengers on a 180 seat plane. Stewardess was pleasant and cheerful.

The last 30 min or so, they put the heat on full. We thought we were being basted.

Delayed 4 hours due to mechanical issues. No mention of compensation for being over 3 hours late

The 700 model seating is too tight both seat size & leg room

They wouldn’t serve us 🥤 drinks, said there was too much turbulence, I must have been on different plane ✈️

The WiFi didn’t work entire flight, couldn’t watch a movie. The recline button didn’t work

Our flight was 1.5 hours delayed. There was no weather for the inbound flight, so I don't understand why. This meant a VERY late arrival and only a quick nap before my morning flight.

The flight encountered a delay exceeding 4 hours. The food voucher issued was valued at $12, insufficient to cover our meal expenses. Consequently, I was unable to take my medication, leading to a drop in blood sugar levels and exacerbating my anxiety.

This time there was nothing to be better, really! Boarding on time, taking off on time and arriving earlier. The only complain is about way too long line at pre-check security point at DFW. But this is the airport’s problem, not American Airline.

Flights were on time. That's the main consideration since I had to change planes. The entertainment was whatever you bring with you and the food (in Economy) is non-existant. Neither of those was a surprise.

The gate crew did try to help, however they lacked the information as to whether the flight will operate or not. Being delayed 6 hours and in a limbo on whether the flight will operate or not is not fun. The airline having staffing issues is not encouraging at all.

Re-checking our bags, the workers were not able to help us with boarding passes for the flight, told us to wait, then ignored us while they helped many other passengers. Until I got rude, they would have left us standing there, and even then they were very curt and dismissive in telling us where to get boarding passes printed. We made it to the gate just as they were starting to board passengers. It was just rude customer service.

Flight was delayed and missed connecting flight. Did not give warning about delay until we showed up at the airport. Not good.

I love to be able to connect my own devices to the entertainment system. It works great!

Gate lady was short & annoyed with us when we had already missed our connection to Albuquerque. She finally gave us both center seats. American Airlines is my least favorite airlines.
