Little bit of trouble getting my KTN and pre-check status onto the ticket, but otherwise the counter staff were friendly and truly concerned to get it right.

Little bit of trouble getting my KTN and pre-check status onto the ticket, but otherwise the counter staff were friendly and truly concerned to get it right.

The flight could have actually taken place. Canceled flight and no option to rebook that day.

Missed connection from delays and times changing multiple times and then involuntarily booked on another airline next day

The flight was delayed in 30 minute increments for a total of 4 hours and 30 minute delay. All other flights to Chicago left on time except for this one flight. If there is an issue with the inbound flight, just let customers know so they can find another flight right away, Once we got on the plane there was another 30 minute delay taking off at 10:30 at night which is very unusual that a flight wouldn't be ready to take off

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

I love the e fact that the staff communicated swiftly when my flight was delayed and gate number changed

Boarding was quick and efficient. We arrived at our destination early.

Everything was on time, we arrived early, everything worked well.

Excellent pilots in an extremely foggy situation. Very good communication with the passengers about possibly being diverted to another airport.

Deicing in Denver took forever and I almost missed my connection. De-ice faster! Not Americans fault.
