Still some confusion about my baggage which was disconcerting. It was nice that there was extra space on the flight for comfort reasons. Staff very friendly

The plane from Venice to Dublin ran out of food. They did not restock the plane in Venice.

The crew was first rate. They allowed me to switch my middle seat to an isle seat and it made my flight home so much more comfortable.

Very comfortable flight. Great service, food options, and entertainment options. With Wi-Fi!

Small plane. Tight seating . What can one say except that it was fast!

The flights are literally always delayed arriving, boarding and taking off so they are always late for the connection. I planned ahead so I was okay but many others aren't. The food was terrible. The staff was very pleasant. I appreciate boarding back to front.

All aspects were excellent - it helped that the flight was only 2/3 full and I had no one sitting in my row. The Pre-check (US Passport Control and Customs) in Dublin made everything so easy when we arrived in Chicago.

Very nice experience. Flight had good entertainment system and good food options. Customer service was very friendly and nice as well.

The same as I stated prior. We incurred extra costs that should be reimbursed, given we were not communicated with about schedule changes.

My flight from Dublin was delayed two hours which ment that I missed my connecting flight to Phoenix. American Airlines provided a hotel room and rebooked my flight for 7:30 AM the next day. I didn't get to the room until 11 pm and I had to be at the airport the next day by 5 AM. The airlines did their best but the schedule was challenging for an 81 year old.
