Pros: "Planes are clean and comfortable"
Cons: "Communication needs to be better via text or email regarding flight status changes."

Pros: "Great ambiance."
Cons: "Service for food and drink closed with more than an hour left in the air."
Pros: "Everyone smiled, everyone helped, no hitches and I’m happy."
Pros: "The customer services of the flight crew and ensuring I had a wheelchair waiting for me I didn’t use any entertainment choices."
Cons: "Having to “tag” my own baggage especially getting a kiosk that had quit printing for other customers. Even though I selected “start over” it didn’t! And since I was a wheelchair passenger with no wheelchair, I was a miserable mess!!! I have never used a bag check kiosk! And paying $50 for 2 bags made this an insult! Rest of service was great!"
Cons: "They gave away my seat so I had trouble getting on the flight"
Pros: "I really liked having some of the seats left empty, to decrease risk of Covid-19"

A foot rest for short legged people and a complimentary water would be nice.

Pros: "Free entertainment and snack. Customer service was great with my bags and had options for picking up and delivering"
Cons: "My bags were not there when I landed"
Cons: "Truth is they practice in like cattle. I ended up sitting next to a ginormous woman. It was a very uncomfortable flight from DC to Charleston. Come on American you're better than that quit using such small planes!"
Cons: "Of the 4 FA only 2 were pleasant. The others were short and accusatory, not with me but other passengers not okay American"
Cons: "Delayed the flight because they sold 1/3 of the seats, not a priority for American operating at a loss."
Pros: "Nothing."
Cons: "Actually having a flight to Charlotte. They delayed flight without much warning... actually, they were delaying/cancelling many flights without warning most of the day. Long story short, I had to get a ride to LaGuardia, to catch a different flight. That flight got delayed when boarding"
