American Airlines is an old commercial airline in this world. It was created on 14th March 1927. At the first time of their operation, this airline was served the letter delivery from Florida, Miami, and Havana. Major Henry was the man who officially led this job. Round 1930-1940, this company successfully increased their amount of passengers and their routes. At that time, American Airlines had already served some flights to South America, Europe, and Asia. This successful achievement was believed to be the effect of the crew professionalism recruited by Major Henry.
At the time when World War II was held, American Airlines survived their commercial flights by using Boeing 307and 314. Even though the amount of the passengers was decrease at that time, this company was still survived until the war had ended. After the World War II ended, this airline arose one more time to catch back their popularity.
Their effort to become greater was doing an expansion of their International routes as well as adding their aircrafts. They finally chose Boeing 377, Douglas DC-6, and Lockheed Constellations to empower their expansion. Because of the company expansion, American Airlines held a special service to go around the world with their special aircrafts called Clipper America which is one of the Lockheed Constellations type. The route was started from San Fransisco- Honolulu- Tokyo- Hongkong- Bangkok- Manila- Kolkata- Delhi- Beirut- Istanbul- Frankfrut- London- and finally New York.
Entered 1960s, this airline started their Jet Era, which means this company renewed their aircrafts again. Boeing 707 and Douglas DC-8 was finally bought compete the Jet Era. They also ordered 25 Boeing 747 to empower their regular flights in 1966. Unfortunately, the first flight which done by Clipper Young America (Boeing 747) to London got an accident because the overheat aircraft machine.
Even though the terrible accident had already suffer this airline in their first Jet flights service, they survived the company by evaluating the flights procedures and created a discount to attract the passengers. This step finally made a possibility to American citizen to get cheap American Airlines tickets.

On time departure from Vancouver, attentive cabin attendants, good breakfast served. Comfortable seats, good selection of movies, etc. On time arrival into DFW. After a 5 hour layover, boarded next 7pm flight at 6.15pm. Left the gate at at 6.50 and then sat on the ground for three hours with only one announcement from the cockpit to the effect that there was a "problem" which was being addressed, Eventually announcement that we were going back to the gate. After 40 minutes at the gate, problem apparently solved and we took off. Fifteen minutes into the flight captain informs that we are returning to DFW as problem still not resolved. Landing complete with fire brigades and ambulances waiting on the side of the runway.

I took American Airlines AA109 flight LHR-LAX (Economy) just over a month ago. And let me tell you, it was nice: you left the plane with a great feeling rather than a standard one! While it is hard to describe what exactly went so well, I will try - the crew: this was probably most important. The crew was very nice and helpful throughout the flight. They brought more water all the time (very important on planes) and was just always there when you needed something. They would also take your trash with them, even when they were just passing by. Some were a little bit stressed toward the end of the flight but that was ok since they were working hard. This was especially obvious after I took my flight back with Iberia from MIA-MAD where it took them a full 2.5 hrs after takeoff to serve drinks for the first time. It was an overnight flight and people wanted to use the time to sleep. I snagged a main cabin extra seat for free using my status, so I had additional legroom, that was great! Also the lavatories were still very clean, even after 11.5 hrs of flight. As we all know, economy class food isn’t especially known for its quality. What we had though, was very good for economy. It was fried chicken in Chinese sweet sauce or something with rice. The sides were fine, as was the breakfast. I was really impressed. (Dinner was also tasty on Iberia but the breakfast was just average I’d say). In the rear part of the plane, the crew had two nice sets of snacks and soft drinks for everyone to have as much as they’d like. They also constantly refilled everything and you could ever ask them for other things they didn’t put out there.

Dallas to Toronto. American Airlines is really struggling to deliver any form of consistent service. This was another example of a failure to deliver acceptable levels of customer service. The gate staff and cabin crew were disinterested in their job. Customers were really a distraction. Telephoning their call centre is an exercise in patience - I waited for just shy of an hour to speak to someone. When I did they were unable or unwilling to provide the assistance I required. The only good thing I could say about the flight was that my bag arrived. Sadly, American Airlines seems to be struggling on just so many fronts.

Raleigh Durham to New York JFK. I been traveling with American Airlines for a long time now and never had a bad experience even with delays. However, Communication of the staff in this airline is terrible. The plane was delayed because of fog but it wasn’t communicated until arrival at a different airport. The inconvenience of this airline cause delayed for a special event I needed to attend. Even when finally arriving at JFK, they said we would arrive in 20 minutes, they been flying more than an hour in circles around the airport. I was very concerned and worry what was going on and no one can tell me why we haven’t landed yet. Recently, I try calling to change the time on my reservation departure time. They was very rude on the phone and can’t seem to help me or even give me a option. I will never travel with America Airlines again.

Flew American Airlines from Dallas Fort Worth to Philadelphia. My family and I have never had such poor service until today. The flight attendants were so rude and disrespectful. They were serving other passengers and were talking to all passengers rudely. I asked for my complimentary cookie and they both acted as though we were stealing from them. Then I asked for coffee and she asked the other attendant - 'what does she want' in a ugly manner. Then she slammed the sugar on the tray. I cannot believe attendants are able to treat people this way. If you don't like your job then quit and allow someone else to be happy at what they do.

Sacramento to Scranton Wilkes-Barre. The nightmare started in Sacramento. We took a 1.5 hour delay for a door assist bottle being 500 psi to low for dispatch. I'm a licensed aircraft mechanic myself. So I can tell you with absolute certainty that this is part of a daily check by the flight attendants as well as maintenance. They waited until the airplane was fully boarded before someone noticed. This is avoidable if there maintenance departmentflight attendants were doing there job. Since I took the delay on this flight it screwed up the rest of my trip. I missed the next connecting flight. Ended up waiting for hours until I was able to depart. Oh wait now I have an extra stop! I get to Philadelphia and this flight takes a 75 minute delay. I've had it with this airline and will be seeking an alternative route or airline in the future. Stay away from these people. They don't deserve to represent the country with that name.

Dallas to Chattanooga. This is my first and last trip on American Airlines. I flew from Chattanooga to Dallas and the attendant at the Chattanooga airport was so incredibly rude. Then, coming back from Dallas to Chattanooga, we had to wait for at least 15 minutes to depart the plane because they couldn't find a marshall to flag it in. What a joke! And Chattanooga could do so much better since the city is growing so rapidly. Bring in Southwest! They are the best and most efficient. I would rather drive to Nashville or Atlanta then fly from my hometown on this joke of an airline!

Miami to Charleston. American Airlines used to understand customer service. The customer service supervisor at the baggage desk at the Miami airport on Monday night, 1162017 told me that it was not her fault I was stupid. I may not be a genius, but is that customer service, or appropriate management terminology towards customers? If you want service that is less satisfactory than robots, apparently American Airlines is for you. I’ve never been so disrespected in an airport in my 30 years of air travel

Well this is my first and will be my last time flying American Airlines. I am on the plane as we speak to fly from Toronto to New York LaGuardia. Just got a notification that the plane will not depart until 07.30 as opposed to the 06.30 scheduled time. And to be quite honest, I already wasn’t too pleased by the counter staff at YYZ. They were extremely slow and did not seem very motivated to do their job. Seemed liked they were taking their sweet old time despite the long line up. I’ve never experienced anything so slow when travelling with other airlines. Another gentleman in the line also complained how slow the check in staff were. Now in terms of the flight delay, the pilot stated that there were mechanical issues that needed to be looked at and that the issue was not too serious. Well this obviously makes me nervous. So yeah, I won’t be flying with this airline again. I regret not booking with another airline. Thank goodness I’m not flying AA on my return to YYZ.

Flew Las Vegas to Miami. American Airlines is usually one of my last airlines of choice. But in this case, price and schedule left me no choice, so AA it was. While they continue to try to find ways to cram more people on their planes, and seating is definitely tight, in this case, since it was a red eye, I fortunately managed to sleep through the flight despite being not very comfortable. The flight left on time and arrived a little early and I mostly slept through it, so I guess that's a win! The A321 had inflight entertainment provided via ones own device and wifi. I did not attempt to use it. One thing about AA and MIA is there is a very long walk from the terminal to where the baggage claim is and it took maybe 15 more minutes after this walk before luggage arrived. In this case, the price of the flight was good, I got to my destination safely on time, and I slept through the flight. However, I still do not like American and only chose them when I do not have another choice as they are the dominant carrier out of Miami.

They have complimentary drinks. People must like the plane's lavatories since I saw a bunch of people using it during a short 1 hour flight.

I booked on Orbitz and screwed up my flight plans by not paying attention. Not a big fan of the $200 dollar reservation change fee. I opted for the 11 hour layover instead.

They have been working on terminal #4 for some time, the finished product is solid. They don't offer a lot of pizazz where stores are concerned, but they do have plenty to offer.
The process of getting check in is easy enough. You can wait in the AA line, or be brave and use the walk up terminal. I don't think the aesthetics of this terminal are much, pretty straight forward, BUT, it's very functional.

I'm a bit upset about their baggage policies, I upgrade my Citi AA credit card to premium executive so I won't be charged baggage fees. Well, guess what I had to pay for my two checked bags. I didn't want to argue with the ticket counter agent and just wanted to get on my flight but I am going to call customer service and request a refund.

Terrible service, charge for baggage, seat assignments etc. You don't even get snacks on the flight....
We flew from LAX to Miami, and then on to Bahamas. On both to and from flights, we had delays of 4 hours.
Even when we landed in LAX, we had to wait at the gate ramp for 15 min for them to open the door. Seriously?
I will avoid AA at all costs.

Missed connection due to delays only to find out they could have changed us to a direct flight that had room. Stuck in Dallas. Waiting to find bags for over 1.5 hours. I understand that things happen but no one apologizes or even cares that they are ruining our vacation. A little courtesy would go a long way.

Indifferent, rude and hostile. Delays. No apologies. Inconveniences at every stage without regard for customers. Hate everything about this airline. Their ethos is f*k the passengers.

How can I leave ZERO stars. They can't find my luggage and then don't even care. No one has any answers and there is no sense of urgency.
The airline industry in general the one business that puts in NO customer service and gets away with it.
But AA is probably the worst of all...not that they really care.

If I could give ZERO stars I would because this airline deserves it!
My husband and I paid for our tickets, come a day before we check in online and was told we would have to checkin at the airport to get our seats. We did a kiosk checkin at the airport to find out we now had to checkin at the departure terminal to get our seat. Well there's no one at the gate cause we were there an hour early and so we had to go to the main help desk but there was a long line that wasn't moving at all. An hour later finally some workers were at the terminal gate and luckily our tickets were printed out for us already and we just had to pick up the tickets.
But imagine the stress I was in for the past hour, not knowing if I really had a seat on the plane or not cause it was oversold!!

i flew from La Guardia to Ohare with American airlines and i thought it was excellent. everything was great. the flight was on time, it was smooth, no issues at all. All of the workers were very well mannered and very helpful when i needed help. i am pretty sure the limit on a carry on was 1 bag but they let me go with my two bags. Id say it was worth the money and it was all good. one thing that could have been better was the entertainment. to be honest the women's world cup was on why couldn't that be played? but that's not very important. i would definitely recommend them to family and friends because it was an overall great experience with them.

I recently flew round trip from Charlotte to Heathrow with my granddaughter and had a wonderful experience on both flights. Both were non-stop on A330. There were no delays and the seating configuration was comfortable for economy. The food was excellent. My original booking was on USAirways but the transition to American occurred after my booking. I have no complaints at all, except for check-in at Heathrow. There were not nearly enough staff working the counters. But I don't really understand the poor ratings on this website.

American Airlines fly in a very old aircraft, poor maintenance. The aircraft left side ceiling panels were hanging out very loose an attendant tried to fix it, but she couldn't , also it was water dripping from the aircraft ceiling edge into the seats, we were threaten by an attendant to cover the seats with plastic bags provided by the attendant ,clean the ceiling edge with paper towels also provided by the attendant or all the passengers would have to vacate the aircraft and wait until an American Airlines aircraft technician could be found to repair the aircraft air conditioner water condensation problem.

My preferred airline and it's Patriotic name - American.
I am proud to be an American and fly American. Many fliers, both frequent and at leisure, shop for the lowest rate, and that's that. There is no pride taken in the name, the safe flying record or sense that American takes one to places that truly matter most. It offers nearly 900 nonstop routes, the most of any airline in the world.
American adds one new plane per month.
They regularly launch new service, survey passengers, and maintain excellence in equipment. In just one week they will fly 1,750 times to 85 destinations throughout Mexico, the Caribbean, and Latin America, alone from Los Angeles & Dallas. Expansive service indeed.
Their commitment to safety is unwavering, and their cornerstone is its Integrated Operations Center in Fort Worth, Texas. Aviation experts here coordinate global operations - flight dispatching; cargo balancing; routing; weather forecasting; aircraft maintenance; and flight crew monitoring.
So haters will hate, fliers will fuss, but the 100,000 employees of American, and I stand proud.

Disappointed in transatlantic flight today from Dublin to Boston via jfk Although good leg room very squashed at front of plane. Food dreadful. No seat screen rather a poor 20 inch screen in middle of aisle...very difficult to see yet the domestic flight had row screens...go figure..... Staff ok but little interaction. Guess you get what you pay for. However on a positive note both flights in time. Would not travel again with airline having flown with a number of other carriers
