We are a senior couple (70+) and chose emergency exit seats so we would have 2 seats together and neither of us had to sit in a middle seat. My husband is type 1 diabetic on an insulin pump and I monitor his blood sugar levels. I am 5'9" and 250 lbs and found the seats extremely uncomfortable. Toward the end of the flight I developed diarrhea which lasted a full 24 hours.
They never sent me a confirmation to say my flight time had changed so I cut my holiday short by 6 hours Had to pay over 50 American for my luggage to be checked on the way home and that’s more that it cost on the way there. Arbitrarily charging more for the same thing when the passenger has no options is shady The cabin was an icebox going there and back, if all the passengers have their gloves on and their hoods up that should be an obvious sign to turn up the heat
I was very nice to arrive earlier than scheduled. Very much appreciated. No issues with flight. All was good.
The on-board crew were professional and friendly and made the trip feel like we were taken care of well. The gate for the flight departure changed three times...not great but not terrible. Considering it was the day of the New Jalisco Cartel mayhem, we can't really complain.
The Turkish was good . I had a problem with air Transat terrible experience for me
I did not like I have been charged for my carry on
Onward flight was okay. return from Lisbon was poor as we missed our flight due to a long line at the passport control. Air Transat made no effort to accommodate us even though we were at the passport control 40 minutes prior to the departure.
Very good. A lot better experience then I expected for an economy flight.
It was very good but no tv but the experience was great
Thank you for making my first experience very enjoyable. You made it all very pleasant
Flight was delayed by 3/4 of an hour. Overall flight was good.
No kiosk to help pre boarding unlike other airlines, still lost the luggage despite its own crew/TSA or security tagging it, poor handling of lost luggage and possibly compensation is likely poor too.
No pre boarding kiosk to check in, baggage claim detected luggage didn’t leave the airport, poorly managed recovery of lost luggage, and blame lost tag from conveyor to TSA/security, very poor from TSA/security check to delivery, crucial if compensation will go thru and will likely wait for months unlike United,
Waited at airport from 10 am till 4 pm and no flight due to fog. Ugh.
Flight was good, crew was excellent. No complaints at all
Delayed 3 times in a row for 4 hours total. Incrementally pushing back the flight claiming gate delays but they eventually changed the actual plane, due to technical issues. This strategy to avoid compensation to passengers is unprofessional.
The flight was full and good as could be expected. We arrived early which is always a good thing.
Plane was one hour late. Hardly any space for our carry-ons. Stressful to catch connections.
The delays were never ending and we were never properly informed as to why. 1st and 2nd delay were handled well, but by the time we received our 7th delay, and then subsequently asked to willingly get bumped, it turned into one of the worst flying situations of my life. I didn’t get home until 2am which is roughly 5 hours later than originally planned.
Plane seating was uncomfortable, very tight fitting for someone my height, did not recline and overall un enjoyable
Worst experience ever. Flight could not land in Charlotte for what we were told was a ground stop. Had to be diverted to Raleigh to refuel. Strangely during ground stop, our connecting flight had no issue taking off on time causing us to miss our flight. We were told there were no other flights that day to our final destination and that two days out was the next one. The only flights to get us there were from Chicago the next morning. Completely opposite direction but it was a direct flight. So we get flown to Chicago and have to find a hotel in our own dime. The flight in the morning was also delayed. Thankfully only a short time. The non too of all this, our luggage did not arrive by the time we were there. Communication was terrible, through the entire trip. Complete incompetence. Will never fly American again.
I was on a small regional flight from Detroit to Philadelphia. When we landed the outside cruise needed to turn something off with the engine, which took quite a long time. Then, when they allowed us to get off the plane it was outside. They took their time, unloading all the luggage and waited till they unloaded all the luggage before they brought it over to us. It was 9 o’clock at night freezing cold out, and there was no proactive hustle to try to get people their luggage. It was really one of the worst experiences I think I’ve ever had with American until a manager came over. I don’t think they were going to even consider pulling the luggage over to the people that had been waiting outside for at least 10 minutes in the freezing cold.
Beverage service was not good. Also just one service in 5 hr 30 min flight. No ask fir water ir anything beside one time beverage service.
Delayed an hour due to operational issues. Minimal apologies or care for the significant inconvenience caused. Landed at nearly 1am and they still couldn’t find ground staff to get us off the plane promptly.
There were no TV screens - even in Business class. 5 delays, and only given $12 meal voucher! Terrible!
The captain brought my 6 year old son into the cockpit and allowed him to ask questions, sit in the captain’s chair and talk about all the gears and levers. Made the trip very special for him.
The boarding process needs to be fixed. The zone don't work, especially when there is hardly anyone in zones 3, 4,and 5, leaving the majority of the passengers backed up in the aisle, especially because passengers seated near the front are blocking passengers who are seated in the rear of the plane. It would also help if the size of carry on bags was more strictly enforced.
Flight was late and boarding was confusing because gate changed and I didn’t get a notification
We loved the steward on the plane. He made the night enjoyable
My wife and I love to travel, so we fly a lot. We've already logged 381,075 miles and with practically every major airline. But this flight was very disappointing. It started off well, with no delays and a new plane. But when lunchtime approached, all that good impression was ruined. Instead of white tablecloths, we were offered small, dark placemats, which, as it turned out, were perfectly adequate for the food. All the food offered—and my wife and I only took fish, and the meat—was not just bad, it was downright disgusting and not heated enough. The same applies to the appetizers. This was the first time in many years of traveling that we've been offered such disgusting food.
Boarding was extremely challenging, long lines and wait time, almost missed my flight.
I checked a bag and there was only one agent to assist all customers with any issues.
Hoping for small compasation for having to rebook my trip back cause i had to miss 6 hrs work
Great setup on both flights except the last flight we got condensed dripping all over me in the last 20 mins of the flight
Delayed for 15 min due to maintenance. We were asked to wait to board as a family, but took longer than if we were not asked anything.
For the amount of money I spent, I definitely expected a better experience
For my third flight in a row on AC 737 Max 8, it was stuffy and warm, especially mid-cabin, Business Class and rear cabin were better. Very uncomfortable 5 hour flight. Do all 737 Max 8 maybe have an HVAC software problem as well or just Air Canada?
The international flights (interior space) is ridiculously small. The aisle way is similar to a discount domestic shuttle. Same applies to the intercontinental flights. The luggage storage space is also incredibly small. The entire experience is rough on a traveler and you pay with your hide and body for not flying let’s say an American or Delta type airline.
It was a very small plane and was ok. No food or entertainment so there should be an option for NA.
I always had the best experience for the professionalism of the crew and the way they make you feel as a family!!!
