I used by Skymiles to upgrade to First so that I could comfortably work using my laptop. But WiFi was intermittent and unavailable for long periods. I feel like I wasted 70,000 miles :(

Great as one can be for a one connection 6 hour flight

The gate attendant was not clear w message on flight delays.

Chairs don’t recline and the ones that do recline, barely do recline. It was most uncomfortable flight i ever been on.

Good service but not on par when compared to foreign flag carriers.

Travelling with 2 others for work. Delta asked to check their carry ons due to the fullness of the plane. This was all good until the next leg of the flight. One of the 3 had their carry on checked through to the final destination but their passport on in their checked bag. Which they could not get to and he was not allowed on to the plane. Even though Delta had to retrieve his bag, because he was not allowed on. So they got his bag and he was in the terminal, but even when the flight was delayed, due to mechanical issues, he was not allowed to come onto the plane. Since the delay was nearly 2 hours, he was finally allowed back on the plane.

good in general food is just snack and beverages (same snacks all the time) could you try to change them?

We experienced delays in small increments that added up to more than an hour. At the gate, staff showed little concern and compared our delay with the inbound flight’s two-hour tarmac wait, which didn’t address our situation. Once onboard, the flight attendants seemed tired and unfriendly. I understand delays are frustrating for everyone, but passengers shouldn’t feel blamed for them. During the flight, a bright light above the emergency exit stayed on. It was concerning, and no one explained it or offered passengers the option to move. After landing, we waited about 30 minutes on the tarmac for a gate, then waited again for an agent to connect the plane to the terminal. From the Reagan gate staff to the cabin crew and RDU personnel, the service felt dismissive throughout. Overall, this was a stressful trip and a very disappointing customer-service experience

The ac must have died, it was way to hot on this flight. Boarding g was chaotic. The flight was delayed for boarding. Not a great experience.

Among the poorest flights I’ve had with Delta in a while. Entertainment system failed completely on a 7.5 hr flight. Crew seemed distracted and not the normal friendly crew. Flight overbooked it seemed… very crowded.

There was no internet on the flight. As an executive flying during prime business hours, having internet is critical for a smooth experience. This impacted productivity and time that will need to be spent later to do the work I could have done on flight.

Terrible boarding - 4 flights boarded from the same gate. Chaos there; long ramps to the plane.

Fine except from Chicago to moline three different gate changes and flight times

Unbelievably smooth boarding at IAH and the flight attendants were top notch.

Comfortable seating POS to IAH. Food options were satisfactory. Good seat from IAH to ANC. Food options could be better.

There could have been better food options in economy on the long 7hr trip from IAH to AM.

Great experience. Boarding was fast, staff were very nice and funny, everything at the seat worked well.

Why wasn't this flight departure scheduled eith another crew so that it could leave on time? When we arrived in Denver we had so little time between flights we had run to the connecting flight. We should received some credit for the inconvenience.

Flying to anchorage would have been cool but the weather got in the way

My flight was 3 hours late, which caused me to miss my connection in Denver. Further, this connecting flight was then Later canceled. This required me to stay another night an hour and a half away, and rent the rental car for an additional Night. I am still waiting for United Airlines to reimburse me for the inconvenience and Expense of having to extend my rental Car for An additional Day.

Fine. No announcement for Concierge Key to board. Not a big issue just pointing it out.

Totally uninformed of the situation. Not yet sure about compensation. Highly disappointed.

Horrible. Their delay cause me to miss my connection, the the flight they rebooked was delayed over an hour because they over booked the crew. They also left my suitcase out in the rain for hours ruining items I had in the suitcase and blew off my complaint.. worst experience ever.

The flight was almost an hour delayed causing me to miss my connecting flight, then the rebooked flight was delayed a couple of hours. They also left my suitcase in the rain for hours ruining some items I had in there. They also just blew off my complaint. It was my absolute worst flight experience of all time:

Nothing available at the assigned hotel as far as brush, toothbrush, etc after forced layover with bags that departed

Crew tried to accommodate late arrival due to late departure

The now boarding notification was not updated in the app until I was actually on the plan. This si a massive fail considering my flight was delayed several times. These types of failures add stress that could be avoided since I no longer feel comfortable leaving the boarding area to get food or visit a lounge. Had I used the notification from the app, I would have missed my flight. The secondly, the process of connecting to wifi on aa flights is clunky and could be streamlined better. the copy and past process feels like MVP, and you are well beyond that stage.

I injured myself during my trip. The staff of American Airlines were very compassionate and empathic. They took additional steps to make my experience easier. Thank you!!

I had a carry on and a personal bag. I put my personal item under my seat and on way to the seat I put my bag up. I usually close my eyes and rest as I was on call for last 36 hours. I heard very loud announcements that someone needs to identify their bag. Pretty sure it was not mine until the hostess pointed out my jacket details attached to the bag. I asked why she got my bag out. I got berated and did not want to create a scene. But this person needs to be talked to.

Other than being delayed 5.5 hours and having to get a hotel because I missed my connecting flight, it was an okay flight. No in-flight Wi-Fi or entertainment.
