“Terrible airline”
Review of American Airlines


Reviewed 28 May 2024

Never take this airline, ever. I have been trying to leave for 5 days now. All flights are getting cancelled or delayed to where it’s impossible to make your next flight. My flights have been switched around over 4 times now and I am still unable to leave.

Always consistently sucks without fail. They need to just get shut down. Delays are guaranteed, flying with AA is like going to the DMV or post office.

Needed to be home for work On Saturday. Connecting flight from Sac to PHX was late over a half hour due to "mechanical issues". Landed in PHX, ran to my gate to go to columbus. Got there 5 minutes before time to leave and they closed the doors and wouldn't let me on even though they knew my other plane was there. Closest flight they could get me home was a whole 24 hours later. Also my bag made it on the plane but they somehow wouldn't wait for me. So they paid for hotel in PHX but I missed a whole day of work and didn't have my bag the entire time. Asked online for compensation of what I just went through and the missed money for work and they gave me $25 credit. Literally a slap in the face. That's barely a meal nowadays.

Finally on my real flight home on Saturday to CMH that flight was also late about 25 minutes for more mechanical issues. The worst flight experience I've ever had overall.

Stuck in airport 15 hours starting with cockpit air-conditioning issues then AA unable to secure pilots and flight attendants for 15 hours. Would not cancel flight just strung passengers along hour after hour thru the night. No water, no food, weak apology. Customer service 200+ people deep. Terrible!!
