Flight attendant made the flight very enjoyable. He was courteous and gave great care to the passengers

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

American was the airline that Starlux contracted for this trip. I arrived in time to make the connecting flight on American, and then the baggage-handler debacle happened. For some reason, the first class and premium economy passengers' luggage was unloaded first. Never seen this happen before. They had handlers removing the bags from the carousel for those passengers. Meanwhile, all of the economy passengers were waiting for their bags, including me. And there were a lot of bags because it was an international flight packed full. While waiting for 45 minutes, my bag didn't show. Meanwhile, an American representative showed up asking if anyone has a connecting flight to Phoenix. Of course I spoke up, and they proceeded to try to find my bag because I had to take a bus to the actual terminal to catch my flight. Which I was not informed of before I arrived. After another 15 minutes of searching, my bag was finally found with the first-class passengers' bags because they had pulled it by mistake. So I rushed to the terminal with the American representative to catch my flight, and they informed me that I missed it and could not get another flight until the next day. Of course, after being on an international flight for 18 hours, I was in no mood to hear this. Now, to be fair, there were a few American employees who tried to help me. After hearing about the missed flight, they got a supervisor to talk to. I expressed my situation to the supervisor, and she was not helpful until I asked for compensation. She agreed to get me a hotel room for the night. So I agreed, and she disappeared into her office, and I waited. And waited. And waited. And waited. While waiting, I was asked by three different employees who knew of my situation if I had been helped. I told them I was waiting for the supervisor to get the hotel room, and they said they would check. Finally, after waiting for 75 minutes, one of the employees who had asked me if I had been helped arrived with my hotel room and arranged a ride to the hotel for me. Never saw the supervisor again. It was now 8 o'clock; I arrived at 5:45! My rebooked fight was scheduled for 6:11 this morning and I have now been informed it has been delayed until 10:00. So am I happy with American? NO I'M NOT!! ;

Terrible planning. And even worse gate agents. Absolutely rude behavior.

Flight was delayed for 2 hours, then last minute the change to on time. The satélite location is far and a nightmare to get to.

The flight was smooth, the pilot kept us informed about delays and we arrived more of less on time

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.

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.

I had first class itinerary, yet they put me boarding group 5 from FNT to ORD! I spoke with the gate agent though, and she let me board in Group 1 like I should have been assigned. Would've liked water on that flight. I'm glad that I asked about food on the flight from ORD to DALLAS. If I fly United from ORD to any city in Texas, they always offer a hot meal and regardless if it is a time in between meal times. The excuse was that it was not dinner time yet. It was almost 6pm?? And the flight was over 2 hours. There were some healthy snack options at least, but fresh snacks like apples or something would be nice. At least offer cheese plates or similar. Please bring seatback screens like United is doing. The flight attendant in first class was wonderful.

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.
