Instead of declaring the A/C, for flight AA1492 supposedly en route to CMH, hard broke and getting another one, they went with 'hopefully" and goods thoughts. Pushed original departure 2 hours so had to get new connection (AA1564) since AA2372 would departure 11 minutes before the first delay of the flight byv1 hour would arrive.

AA1492 finally departed CMH @ 5:00pm and arrived at DFW @ 6:12pm but the fucksticks on flight AA2334 occupying gate A15 took another 40 minutes to get their act together. Connection flight (AA1564) was only 4 gates down but gate attendant dickwad didn't hold for 4 of us stuck on the ramp and closed it 2 minutes before we got there at 6:52pm.

He booked us on another flight (AA1406) which was supposed to leave @ 9:00pm but just got update that it's delayed by their…

Attn: AA Complaint online Department AND OR /CEO Mr. Doug Parker On behalf of 4 individuals that I purchased tickets for by way of American Express for Business trip from PHL to PHX on 5/20/19 r/t thru. to 5/23/2019 Flight 1970 Confirmation HXXCFT upon returning the travelers were quite displeased in the order in which they boarded /not to mention that the flight was over booked/ leaving the four of them to be the very last in being seated.....

(Senior) very uncomfortable due to not allowing the call for choosing 24 hr. online window notification for choice of ones selecting-that surely would have given at least one elder if not all four a better chance of being seated more so not totally last, for tickets were purchased on 5/3/2019, in well enough time.

When we arrived in Charlotte from Lexington we found out our next flight was "cancelled". This was flight #1709 to Ft. Lauderdale arriving at 4:26 PM. Upon re-booking we founded out it was due to mechanical problems. This required us (in our 80's) to have an eight hour wait in the airport.

During the re-booking there was no mention of any compensation. Eventually my wife again stood in line approximately one hour to ask about compensation. She was given a minimum voucher for some food. "

Reference, Record Locator # JOQGOQ, flight # 1433 on Sunday, May 12th. I was a passenger on this flight and choose a window seat. A man who had reserved the middle seat next to me was extremely overweight an LARGE.

He could not set down until both armrest were in the up position. The flight attendant brought him a seat belt extension, which he had to use to buckle. Without doubt, the most uncomfortable 2+ hours I ever spent in an airplane.

I researched AA's policy concerning this condition and it states that anyone needing a belt extension must buy an extra seat. Why was he not forced to do so? I have attached a photo the person after we exited the plane.

He is the very large man centered in the photo with a bag suspended from his right shoulder and wearing a back pack. I anxiously…

My flight on May 20th (record locator FYOSRC) was canceled from BDL to ORD. There was no other available option that could get me into Chicago on time and no offer for protection with another airline. I was forced to book a flight with Delta one way which cost me $422 but it did get me to Chicago in time for my meeting.

I was told that my return flight would be canceled if I didn't travel on the in bound flight which was not my choice. I had to call 3 times to make sure that my return flight was not canceled, but it was!!

I had to get it reinstated so I can get home. I am requesting a refund for the $422 that I had to incur not to mention the stress and inconvenience that this caused me.

Travelled on Monday, May 20th flight AA2664 from PHX to YVR. Found out the flight had been delayed from 4:55 to 6:15 pm. Got to the airport and waited to board. At 6:00 pm the board changed showing flight delayed until 8:00 pm.

The attendant came on to tell us that they had no crew to fly the plane, so they would have to wait until they arrived at 7:00 pm. At 7:30 pm we were boarded onto the plane. The Captain came on to say he had just flown in from Chicago and was asked to take the plane to Vancouver, and that they had to wait for Flight Attendants because the ones on board couldn't accompany us to Vancouver.

He apologized and said that he didn't know what was going on like us, and was frustrated with the situation. The attendants boarded at 9:15 and then we left fro Vancouver. This…

My husband went to the airport at 4am and was told it was not for that area.

I suckered in to your promotion to sign up for an advantage mileage card when I was flying a while ago. The promise was 40,000 free miles, priority boarding and my first bag free to check in. So I signed up and also added my partner. I bought a lot of tickets after that and have charged substantial charges to accumulate flying miles. We have yet to receive those promised miles!!!!!!!!!!!!

We recently flew to West Palm Beach Florida and we treated like a piece of garbage with this supposedly prestigious card. We had a layover in Charlotte for over 17 hours. My partner has a bone disease and the coldness of the airport was becoming very uncomfortable for her. No one at any desk would give her a blanket. All the stores were closed by then at the airport and all the motels were booked from a…

Everything from start to finish. 1-I booked my flight to Cabos in January for a flight in May. When I checked in, in preparation to leave all of the seat confirmations were changed to the very back of the plane. But I could upgrade my seating to my ORIGINAL seats for $62 each. I'm sorry but I already paid over $1100.00 for these tickets.

2- I paid for return transportation to the Airport with the resourt based on my CONFIRMED TICKETS. When I checked in to come home American Airlines had changed my return flight from flight #533 leaving at 12:40 pm to flight #537 leaving at 4:33 pm. I did not want to sit at the Airport for over 5 hours so I had to pay another $62 for the ride to the Airport as the return voucher was NOT transferable.

Good evening, the events of this evening will make me think twice before booking American flights again. I just experienced the biggest booking error ever in my 46 years of flying various airlines. I and 2 other family members were scheduled to fly on 5/10 from Houston Intercontinental (IAH) to Miami, Florida departing at 7:20 am and arriving at 10:56 am.

Inclement weather caused IAH morning departures to be canceled so we were rebooked for Saturday 5/11 on flight AA2668 departing at 8:58 am arriving Miami at 2:59 pm; well the Saturday arrival time doesn't work for us because we were flying to attend a graduation scheduled for 10:00 am on Saturday (first immediate family member to get doctorate).

Leaving Chattanooga for Dayton I was charged $30 for luggage and $40 for my wheelchair. Tried to complain to clerk who ignore me. I understood wheelchairs were free.

Secondly from Washington to Dayton on my return flight I was delayed and sat in a lower level for five to six hours (in a wheel chair. I asked a AA employee if I could have a glass of water and she said no - I sked why and she said I could choke on it ad they would be responsible. I later asked a supervisor for water and she didn't know , but eventually brought me a paper cup half full of water. It was a very uncomfortable layover.

My daughter and I were flying business class SLC To Guayaquil on April 19, 2019. We got to Dallas and our flight was cancelled due to weather into Miami. We were rebooked on Take Airlines into Guayaquil and arrived later that night.

This flight was far from business class and no luggage when we arrived. Other rebooked folks on the same flight the next day arrived with their baggage. Our luggage did not make it. It arrived four days later. We bought what replacement clothing we thought necessary before we left port but honestly did not buy enough because we thought our luggage would be on the flight with the other arriving passengers.

Not much and very expensive options were available on board ship. We suffered and made do. I did not save receipts. We would request $100/ day compensation…

This is my first time flying AA and it will be my last. Made reservations in January for a flight in May was able to select the seats that worked best for both me and my wife as we both have disabilities.

Today I checked on the reservations and all but one of the RESERVED SEATING assignments were changed. I was told that when you buy your tickets the ONLY thing they guarantee is to get you to your destination. The first person I talked to was very rude so I asked for a Supervisor.

She also was not concerned about the changes and could not give me a reason why. She basically said that's tuff that is what we do. She said it with a SMILE ?? so that makes it OK. 5 star rating.

If there was a lower than one I surely would have used that. NEVER AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!

Needless tio say, that when we finally arrived at our daughters' home , we found that all our luggage was soaked, both inside and out. Such careless handling of our possessions is inexcusable and reflect badly on the thoughtfulness of a major corporation.

When we were finally allowed to land it was pouring rain. Baggage handler immediately ser about off-loading luggage, even though there was no let up in the rain. When we arrived at our daughters, we found that everything inside and out was soaked.

Not having flown with American before, to say that we were disgusted is putting it mildly! Such inconsideration should never be the hall mark of a top flight operation. Our daughters recently relocated from Denver, CO and we will be travelling often to visit, but not with American Airlines.

On Easter Sunday I was in the Orlando Airport checking in to my flight back to Dallas-Ft Worth Airport Flight #2489. I had just got back from a 7 day Cruise and we were returning home. When we arrived to check-in at B3 at about 9:20 am on 04/21/2019 at the Orland Airport we went to check in and was at a Kiosk to check in.

An American Airlines employee walked up to us and started barking orders to us VERY RUDELY that we had luggage and was at the wrong Kiosk, when needed to go to the other one because we had luggage. She was very RUDE.

We moved to the correct one and that just bothered me because Customer Service is no longer around, even at the Number One Airlines. I went over to ask her name and she covered her badge so I could not see her name and asked why.

RE: Verna L. Kokmeyer Frequent Flier # 8453576 Frank A. Kokmeyer Frequent Flier # 8454616

My husband and I have long travelled with American Airlines, and we have also had American Airlines CitiCard Credit Cards for many years. More recently, my husband opened a new business credit card with American Airlines. We were attracted to the offer of miles to use for travel.

Over the past few years, we have used our miles to travel to central America, including travel to Roatan, Honduras. This is definitely the benefit promised when we obtained AA credit cards, but we found out on our last trip, there is a severe downside of using miles for travel. This is never told people who sign up for the card.

flight attendants on the Delta flight we were put on were not informed we had a plane to catch in Spokane and as a result, we were there two minutes after the Alaska flight gate closed in Spokane after running about 1/4 mile to get from one terminal to the next.

Platinum Pro P7A3636 -I am writing to complain about Delayed Flight 853 from BNA to PHL on April 15, 2019. 26am departure was ON TIME, we were notified at the gate that the flight would be delayed three (3) hours because there was no available pilot.

00am meeting and my day is pretty well shot. I understand weather delays and mechanical delays but it is inexcusable to have a delay because the flight didn’t have a pilot. Your website specifically states that American Airlines ensures that it will have adequate resources available to meet passenger needs.

Moreover, to not notify the passengers of the delay until Boarding Time is deplorable. I respectfully request some compensation for this unnecessary inconvenience in the form a miles credit to my Frequent Flyer account (P7A3636) or,…

Yesterday My wife Joanne and I had return plans on American at 11:45 at Tampa International Airport we were on vacation at Siesta Key Beach. We got up at 5am with our relatives and headed out to the airport to head home.

First of all I was sick for the last 3 days with a stomach virus and was looking forward to going home. I had a Doctor's appointment later in the afternoon back in our town of Clifton Heights PA. in the morning and felt ok and was just forward to going home but American had other ideas.

First as we leave for the Airport my wife gets notification you canceled the flight. So you don't replace that flight. The only chance to make the Doctor's Appointment was gone. so you can see the kinda day your airline provided.

I purchased a First Class ticket for my trip. Toledo to Chicago, Chicago to Puerto Vallarta on March 17, 2019. Flight #AA-2338. Before boarding, I was called up to the counter to tell me that their was a problem with my seat, and I would have to wait before boarding.

Everyone was on the plane ready to go but me. Now I have some back problems, and that is one of the reasons that I purchased that first class ticket. Now I do know that I flew from Toledo to Chicago in a very small plane, but it was only a 45 min trip. That's doable.

The Chicago to Puerto Vallarta was 41/2 hours long. Well after about 15 min of either not knowing if I will be able to go on this trip, I was told that I could board. Well the problem with the seat was it couldn't recline.

I did get a picture of the tape with…

I was told I had to check my carry-on case on flight AA2629 from MSP to DFW, scheduled departure 18.29 on April 10th, 2019 as it was so busy. From DFW I was then scheduled to transfer to my connecting flight to El Paso (AA5874), scheduled departure 22.15. I was furious on arrival at ELP to find my bag did not arrive. Registered my bag loss with the agent in the Baggage Reclaim (ref delayed baggage receipt ELPAA04003956) and have asked for my bag to be sent to my hotel on the 08.00 flight arriving from DFW today (Hampton Inn, 12088 Gateway West Boulevard, El Paso, TX 79936).

Why didn't American check-in attendants at MSP prioritise people with connecting flights to have carry-on bags and those terminating at DFW check in their bags. This is so frustrating and has ruined my trip. Very…

My colleague had a delayed flight in Charlotte on 8 April. I called the customer service rep to get a status on the lost/delayed bag. I was told it was in Charlotte and it should be on the next of two flights, the second being a bit after 12.

At 1412, they are STILL waiting on someone at the lost baggage department in Charlotte to send a message back about when it will be put on a plane to Augusta. Is there nobody working in that department? Do they care about a paying customer not having a change of clothing?

It would seem that once they have your money, the hell with you and customer service from then on.

AMERICAN AIRLINES FLT # 5388, 3/24/19 - WHITE PLAINS TO CHARLOTTE

THE PLANE WAS TO DEPART AT 7:00 PM. WE WERE NOT ALLOWED TO BOARD UNTIL 7:20 EVEN THO THE PLANE WAS AT THE GATE AND READY TO GO. MY SEAT WAS 2A. THE MAIN REASON FOR THIS COMPLAINT WAS THE VERY LARGE FEMALE IN THE SEAT NEXT TO ME. SHE WAS UNABLE TO PUT HER SEATBELT AROUND HER - HER SIZE CAUSED HER BODY PARTS TO 'OVERFLOW' INTO MY SPACE. MY CONCERN IS THAT THIS WOMAN SHOULD HAVE HAD A SEAT FOR TWO - FOR HER SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF THE OTHERS ON THE PLANE. WHEN THE FLIGHT ATTENDANT WAS CHECKING UPRIGHT SEATS AND SEAT BELTS- I ASSUMED HE WOULD HAVE NOTICED THAT SHE DID NOT HAVE HERS ATTACHED.

IT WAS THE MOST UNCOMFORTABLE FLIGHT I HAVE EVER BEEN ON - HAVING HER BODY PARTS INCLUDING LEGS, ARMS AND SHOULDERS IN MY SEATING AREA.…

i am 71 years old and a disabled Vietnam nam vet. I was confused on what gate I was to be at in Chicago ohare. I respectfully ask a AA employee if I was in the right area. He just go straight down the escalator but he said in front of our customers “it’s wriiten right here on your boarding pass don’t you know how to read”.

People looked at me and I was embarrassed and humiliated by his actions. You should think strongly on giving classes on how to be a respectful and courteous employee. They should know it’s part of their job to help customers and also protect the credibility and integrity of the company. John Maratea 609-410-0190
