I made a reservation last June to go see a friend on Corpus Christi TX. My friend became ill so I had to cancel my trip. I called AA and was told by a representative that my ticket was non-refundable and non-transferable.

Which I totally understood and accepted. I cancelled my trip by phone talking to a AA rep. 00 towards another ticket. When I called to check on it this week I wanted to use it in June I was told I was a no show for the flight so therefore my ticket was no longer valid.

I made the call to cancel 1-2 days before the departure date which I believe was June 15 or June 16. I was assured everything was fine since I had called and freed up a seat for someone else to use.

Now they tell me no. I did my part, but apparently someone else did not record it properly. Would you…

I booked a round trip ticket from DFW TO MSP to fly on 3-13-16 & return on 3-14-16, but could not check in because they had put Caroline instead of Carolyn (Record Locator: YQAXXE) so I called AA. She said no problem that she would fix it in a short time, so I was able to check in & went to airport through TSA with no problem.

However, When I went to check in at MSP for my return flight, I couldn't & again called help desk at AA. They said my name was wrong on the ticket and I had to go to the airport to get it fixed. After working all day had to go to the MSP airport, they told me they couldn't fix it because the ticket had been issued wrong. She wrote a long note on my previous boarding pass and also on the computer. She said with this the next day TSA would help me go through security.…

On March 10, 2016 I was rebooked from United airlines to American Airlines flights 1317 and 935 from Chicago to Puerta Plata, Dominican Republic. This was a business trip which was basically disastrous because my bags were lost. It took both Airlines until the 12th of March to locate my bags in Newark, New Jersey, and then two more days to transfer them to me in Puerta Plata. I was not able to conduct the business for which the trip was scheduled and had to pay unnecessary money, approximately $1500.00, for accommodations while awaiting word on my lost luggage. I am requesting a travel voucher in the amount of $700.00 which should allow for the future rescheduling of a make-up business flight. The lost baggage file number is POPAA00588652. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I applied for a refund for a ticket issued by mistake, I then filed for a refund and as of this date almost 2 months later I have not heard a word from anyone at American Airlines. Every time I go on line or call customer service no one seems to have an idea in the world where it stands.

please review and give me a timely reply. the tickets in question are as follows: 0012319634710 issued to James Butler and 0012319634797 issued to Kathryn Butler.

After booking a number of flights for a holiday from uk. to Orlando in September 2015 to fly march 2016 I was informed in January 2016 that changes to the flight itinerary was taking place.These changes were unsuitable to my requirements and applied for a refund,this involved filling a refund form to be completed which I duly completed on 20th of January 2016. I E-mailed the forms to Omega flight store UK as they were the travel agents I was using for the booking.It stated on the form that it took 6-8 weeks to complete the refund.

I found that i was in an impossible position because I had to accept this condition or no refund would be forthcoming..I find it astounding that it takes so long to reimburse passengers through no fault of their own.When the booking was made it took 6-8 seconds…

O February 14 I booked a flight for February 23rd from Wilmington (ILM) to Tampa. Due to a family situation I needed to fly on February 21st instead. On February 20th I went to ILM to change my flight. At that time I was charged an additional $200 to change my flight to Sunday at 11:05. American Airlines personnel printed Electronic tickets and pre-check-in boarding passes with seat assignments.

On 2/21 when I arrived at Wilmington I was informed that my flight was overbooked and I was offered a $300 courtesy ticket to take a "bump." When processing my boarding passes I was told they were "invalid. While American Airlines personnel searched for answers I not only missed the opportunity to take the "bump," my original flight department. It took considerable time before I was booked on a…

I was checking in at the kiosk in Orlando MCO yesterday for flight #2080 and accidentally entered group 1 boarding. I saw this right away and wanted to back out but the only option was to hit Start Over which it did but it immediately printed a boarding pass and made the $15.00 charge to my credit card. I had no way to back out of the entry or to cancel the charge. I spoke to the check in desk manager and he said he couldn't do anything. I contacted American Airlines customer service line and was told I would have to wait to get my credit card statement and request a refund at the time.

I think this is TERRIBLE service. Also, and more importantly your kiosk should have the ability to back out of an errant entry and not have this mess to begin with. You really need to get that corrected. I…

On Monday February 15,2016 on Flight 3304 coming from Peoria Illinois. The Flight was great until we Landed . Chicago , O'Hare International Airport. All passengers on this flight were sitting on this plane for over an hour on the run way.

The staff was great, what the heck was management thinking. This is totally unacceptable. Chicago has had more snow and cold weather than this in pass history. This was not handled professionally, I won't tell you all how to do your job, but I will say that I know it should have been handle in more respectable manner.

Some customer missed connecting flights. I missed my ride. and had to wait an hour for another ride. The passengers on American Airlines Flight 3304, should be compensated for the unnecessary time sitting on the plane on the run way.

I was scheduled to depart from LGA to DFW on a 6pm flight. Due to weather conditions the flight was delayed to 6:50pm, than 7:15pm, 9:30pm, 10:50pm, than 10:20pm. This kept going on al day, which resulted to me staying at the airport all day. After 12:00am the flight came in, and the passengers were informed the flight was cancelled due to illegality (In other words, the flight attendants are exhausted and opt not to fly to Dallas). Understandable.

However there was no courtesy provided to the customers who camped out at the airport all day. At one point we were told American Airlines are attempting to call other flight attendants (which never happened). We were then told the flight has been rescheduled for 7:30am on 02/16. No only were there no accommodations (hotel vouchers). we were…

Dear Sir or Mam I was on a return flight from Las Vegas to Jacksonville NC with a stop in Charlotte NC after arriving in Charlotte I saw on your board that the flight going to Jacksonville had been cancelled. I immediately went to the American Airlines customer service desk to get help. I was travelling with my fiancé and after about forty five minutes the agent had gotten us tickets for a flight the next morning my fiancé's flight was confirmed and I had to go standby.

I was disappointed in the time it took although the woman seemed to be friendly I felt that things did not go as smooth as they should have she had to make several calls and said the issues were due to the merger between American and US Air. I asked about getting a room or even renting a car and she said they could not do…

I traveled to Brazil on Dec. 15 T, with American Airlines, my luggage arrived 3 days later. On the way back , went through customers at Miami International, by the way a very chaotic airport. You have to leave the secure area and walked through the whole airport to dispatch my luggage (2), all the way to Kalamazoo, MI.

When I arrived in Kalamazoo, just one of my big bags arrived, I filed the complaint. It took 6 days for my bag to arrive, meanwhile they sent it back to Brazil, and supposedly just sat at the Chicago airport for days.

It was very aggravating, and the company never offered anything to minimize it, not even a little frequent flyer miles, or an apology, they just expect you to forget the whole incident. Very unprofessional, I have serious doubts I'll fly AA again or even go…

I booked a flight (record locator jwackq) in December to southeast Asia. I paid more than 800 dollars in upgrades. The plane had mechanical problems in Chicago and the flight was cancelled. On three separate occasions, your customer service people assured me that the money would be refunded within 10 to 12 business days.

That was more than 6 weeks ago and so far the refund is still in your account instead of mine. I want to know today the status of that refund. This is also the second time I have filled out this online form.

AA corporate headquarters have yet to respond to the first one sent more than 3 weeks ago.

I'm obligated to empty my suitcase and divide it into 6 shopping bags so we ca takeout on flight. I had to throw out my$159 dollar suitcase and start running with my family to the security line.

I had the worst experience of my life flying from Boston on Dec. 29 (800am flight to Washington DC. It was a terrible icy slippery ride (4hours ) to get to Logan Normally takes 45min. We left early knowing the weather condition. The major roads and buses were jammed. I made it to the airport by 8 but was not allowed on plane. I then waited standby several hours more refused on that one then tried again, and refused again. I had terrible anxiety attacks and the service dept agents were extremely frustrated and nasty.I received no definitive answers from anyone.

My flight left Las Vegas, NV on 12/23/15 via American Airlines. That flight was wonderful, however, the return flight via United Airlines was absolutely disastrous. The United Airlines flight was scheduled to leave 12/27/15 but did not leave until 12/29/15.

My parents live in Greenville, Ms, whom I was visiting and I was stuck in Memphis, TN (2 and a half hours away). It was an inconvenience that I was not prepared for. I filed this complaint earlier but have not heard from your company.

On the night before printing my boarding pass, I was informed that the flight was overbooked and asked if I was interested in taking a different flight, to which I replied "NO" because I had to go back to work.

We had booked a flight from Palm Springs, CA to San Antonio, TX for Dec. 22 - Dec. 28, 2015. My husband was being seen by an oncologist for Mantel Cell Lymphoma. He had recently developed fluids in his lungs and stomach; prior to our flight the doctor ordered a bone marrow and discovered my husband now had stage 4 Mantel Cell Lymphoma and ordered my husband to cancel our flight immediately.

Via e-mail, I sent American Airlines the letter that the doctor had composed that he could not fly and needed treatment ASAP. I now find that we have been denied reimbursement or refund. I would accept a voucher to be used perhaps at another time, but to deny us no refund whatsoever is very unfair.

I booked a return flight with AA to fly from Phoenix to LaGuardia, NY, with a transfer through Charlotte, NC, on 12/22/15, to return 12/27/15. On my return flight AA451 from LGA, ( having waited an hour to board ), a cancellation of that flight was announced. I was told by the attendant on duty, that there was no other flight out with AA, to get me home to Phoenix.

After a further long wait, the attendant returned to me, and told me the only available flight she could find, after research, was a direct flight on United Airlines, out of Newark, New Jersey, at 4.47pm, the following day 28th. Being now that I was stranded at LGA, until the next evening, I asked what the Airlines could do to assist with an overnight layover. I was told to deal with that with a complaint on line at AA.com.

My son is active duty air force. He booked a round-trip flight 30 days in advance, with a return trip through american airlines. American airlines cancelled his return flight from atlanta at the last minute, did not place him on one of their other flights that left that same morning, and refused to reimburse him for the inconvenience and $$ of having to take a slow bus to return to his base. I spoke with some rude customer service rep called "tracy" (gmt), and an effeminate supervisor aka "billy ray" (said he/she/it was from the dallas fort worth dept).

Daughter Missed connection from flight 608 from nyc to flight 516 to Sacramento in Phoenix not because 608 was delayed (which it was for departure weather), but because flight 516 pilot elected to depart gate 15 minutes earlier than published schedule. She would have made the connection by about 6 or 7 minutes had the plane been at the gate as flight schedule showed. In talking with her, she indicated that she was among many other passengers who were also connecting to flight 516, so the plane certainly did not depart early because it was full.

I took a flight to Florida and rented a car through you at the same time. My booking # on the car reservation was 1745663US0. The booking reservation said my total cost would be $914,28. 30. 02 more than I was expecting.

When I complained that this was more than what the booking reservation said, I was told there was an additional $35 for frequent flier fees. I was never told anything about frequent flier fees when I booked the reservation. If I knew they were going to tack on $35 for frequent flier fees I wouldn't have used my frequent flier # when making the reservation. 07 cents/mile.

After my initial flight out of SFO was delayed by 3 hours I missed my connecting flight out of DFW. When I approached an agent to find out if I was re booked on another flight I was RUDELY dismissed!

I was eventually helped by another agent (with attitude) who booked me on a flight going to DCA however IAD was my final destination. My checked luggage did not make the flight and I was informed that I have to wait until the following night to receive my luggage.

Because of this I had to cancel my flight to Barbados in order to get my luggage. The way how I was treated by YOUR employees was needless to say VERY UNPROFESSIONAL. I vow NEVER to travel with your airline ever again.

Upon arriving at the site instructed I was quickly sent somewhere else and from there I was sent somewhere else, until I ended up where I started. No one was willing to help everyone was deferring to someone else. They were extremely rude and unprofessional.

They were speaking in Spanish about me in my presence which was extremely rude. When I realized I was getting little to no help, I went up to the aviation office on the 4th floor.

Months ago, I originally paid more for a “later” flight because it was important for various reasons to fly out after 9:00 a.m. I could have saved over a $100 on the ticket at the time if I booked an earlier flight, But again, I was willing to pay additional monies to have a later flight. Now, they canceled that flight and I am now on an earlier flight anyway. So not only am I paying "more" for 9:16 a.m. flight but now I’m on the flight I could have originally paid less for. Again, this earlier flight that I am on now was considerably less than what I paid for to get a later flight.

It just seems unfair to me to change my flights and still charge me for the later flight that was cancelled and put me on a cheaper flight without any type of reimbursement for services not rendered. Now, is…

On November 21, 2015, my son and I were traveling to England with a layover at Chicago O'Hare. Our flight was scheduled for 7 p.m. on November 21, 2015. We were told REPEATEDLY that our flight was delayed due to mechanical reason - something to do with the gate bridge being broke. We were moved to two different gates and each time were told the same thing - it was a problem with the bridge. Finally at about 10:30 p.m. we were told our flight was cancelled due to MECHANICAL reasons and we were re-booked for the next night at 7 p.m. I filed on my travel insurance and was told I needed something from American Airlines indicating it was a delay due to mechanical reasons. I did that and American responded saying it was "weather" related.

This is so wrong - flights were coming in and out of the…

I purchased first class tickets traveling from Wichita KS to Port of Spain Trinidad. on my return trip 10/28/15 flight #5827 arrived late in Forth worth TX late causing us to missing our connecting flight to Wichita KS. The Miami FL flight was late because the pilot had to turn the plane around because someone on the flight didn't want to fly with that pilot. I was put up in a hotel and given a food voucher.

The next day I was able to continue my trip however, instead of being placed in first class, which I did purchase tickets for I was placed in coach. the reason I purchased first class tickets is because of my health situation.my flight information for 10/29/15 is #5831 @8:50 from Dallas TX to Wichita KS. I want to be compensated for my inconvenience as well as my extra cost of my…

My wife and I coming home from Cabo san lucas on American Airlines leaving on November 21, 2015. We arrived at the airport early at 2:30 PM. We printed up our boarding passes and checked or baggage. Our flight was 770 leaving at 5:45 PM. The lady from American said that our flight was delayed so she had to put us on a earlier flight to arrive on time for our connecting flight in Phoenix Flight 603 to Seattle.

We arrived in Phoenix and we got there One hour before boarding flight 603. We already received our boarding passes in Cabo so we just waited until they announced us to board according to our seat number 16A and 16B. They called for us to boarded and they told my wife and I that we were not on this flight even tho we had our boarding passes we printed out that day. They asked us to…

Flight 5889 from XNA to Dallas on 11/18. We landed in Dallas and sat waiting for a gate for 1 hour. This was longer than the flight itself. Dallas is your hub. How can it take 1 hour to find an available gate.

All I can say is another disappointment from American. Unfortunately I feel like a hostage since you are the only carrier that flies to my locations non stop. What a horrible experience once again. My advantage number is 94VFD38 so you can see I'm flying weekly on your horrible airline. A very unhappy customer!

My Flight to California was very good but on the way home my plane was late out of Ontario California because of mechanical problems. Because of the late plane i missed my connecting flight to fort wayne, Indiana. I was told i could either get a hotel in Dallas at DFW or wait until the next morning after noon to get a flight to fort Wayne.

I choose to fly into Chicago and get a flight. Waited 3 more hours to board flight the initial lady whom i spoke to who was a supervisor at the gate whether my flight took off from shortly after i arrived was fairly nice.

But the lady who followed was very unconcerned no one ever apologized for me missing my flight because of American Airlines company's maintenance problems. I was told i could get a hotel in Chicago i landed in Chicago after Midnight…

On September 26th I booked flights via record Locator KEHDEB and purchased ticked on the 27th September. My itinerary indicated that I was in First class from Trinidad to Miami and business class for my next flights. m. in the morning, On checking in I was told that I was not in first class and this resulted in me traveling all all the way to Jackson (JAN) without having time to purchase a meal and nothing was given to on flight.

I am diabetic and suffered great discomfort because of the mistake made y American Airlines. I am now seeking some form of compensation for my suffering. American Airlines is the only airline I ave used for the past twenty or so years.

I was booked on a flight from BWI to Phoenix Arizona this past Wednesday with a connecting flight to follow to Palm Springs, CA. Unfortunately, the original flight had a 2 hour delay, which meant I was stuck in Arizona for the night (no connecting flights to AZ). I understand these situations will sometime occur and no one has control over them. What disappoints me the most is, I was put up in a hotel Ramada, that was filthy. Not only that, I stood in line for 45 minutes to get my voucher, and was told "you should be able to contact the hotel and send the shuttle bus over, IF they are still picking up since it is after 12 AM, not to mention I had waited 2 additional hours to get on the plane.

The attendant at the gate checking boarding passes was inconsiderate, especially to the elder…

Loise from counter was on duty along with another lady. I dropped my mom (68, Spanish Speaking only, flying to SJO CR). I initially talked to the nice lady on the counter but Loise interrupted our conversation to tell my mom that her carry on was too big to take on the plane. Her demeanor was just out professional realm. My exact complaint is that my mom was allowed from SJO to fly with the same carry on and in COS this disrespectful employee did not acknowledge nor honored the fact the AA had made a mistake. My mom had no choice but to leave her luggage behind or pay $150 as the other lady was quick to charge.

These kind of employees do not represent your company in the right light. This employee has no compassion and not willing to help a senior person. I bet if this situation had…

Nearly impossible to describe the ineptitude and rude treatment in 100 words. Flight from DCA to Phenix was delayed because over weight - and 11 passengers had to be removed from the flight. ) This made us 1 hour late, and I missed my connection to Honolulu.

I was given a ticket hen I arrived, routine me through LAX and arriving in Honolulu at midnight. I was aware there was a 3:00 direct flight, and requested to be put on the flight rather than routed through LAX.

That was accommodated and I was assured my bag would be transferred to the correct flight. No such luck. I was too the bag was actually in LAX and would be routed to Honolulu. I spoke with the attendant at the airport who assured that he bag would deb delivered when it arrived.

I called later to confirm that the bag arrived…
