Our flight from Chicago to Des Moines was the problem flight due to a dismissive flight attendant. His conduct was unnecessary and unprofessional.. I will avoid using Americam Airlines again because of the situation. Very disappointing.

Our flight from Chicago to Des Moines was the problem flight due to a dismissive flight attendant. His conduct was unnecessary and unprofessional.. I will avoid using Americam Airlines again because of the situation. Very disappointing.

Mostly excellent. However, many too many gate changes. Connecting flight at ORD changed gate 6 times.

Mechanical issues and delays. I get it but bad experience. Turned my 3 hour airport experience into a 9 hours

The baggage process at the gate was terrible. Stay was not friendly at all

Flight was delayed because of mechanical. Could not get landing space which caused me to miss my connection. Messy and not organized.

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.
