Flight was on time. Crew courteous and knowledgeable. Good flight
Pros: "The crew was awesome. At one point the attendant said the sky didn’t have its morning coffee (because of turbulence) and it was really cute and really funny and just made me laugh through the stress of turbulence."
Cons: "Nothing!"
Cons: "I ordered kosher food and again American Airlines didn’t get me any"
Pros: "Inability to move up seat given 6’0 height and several available."
Cons: "Worst turbulence ever."
Cons: "Na"
Cons: "Flight crew was rude and unprofessional. Ran over my foot with a cart. Ran into my head when I was picking something up from the aisle and was unapologetic. Overall lack of service quality."
Pros: "The crew was nice and s"

Cons: "The sound didn't work on my entire row for the in flight entertainment; it made for a long flight."
Pros: "Crew was amazing."
Cons: "Less bumps"
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "They canceled my flight. And they keep us at the airport until 10pm to tell us that flight got canceled. The worst part was they offer us to we buy with with “discount” embarrassing. They could tell me at 6pm that flight is canceled and to find other way to get to nyc."
Cons: "I will never fly with American again."
Pros: "The gate crew and flight crew took extra care of my wife, who has MS and related difficulty walking. They showed great care - very friendly and professional. Pleasant experience all the way through."
Cons: "Seats were a little close together, so my knees were always touching the seat in front of me. Not terrible, but not ideal. I'm 6'1" and my legs are a bit long."
Pros: "entertainment (movie) selection was good. would nice to have subtitles available"
Cons: "one flight attendant didn't seem very happy, not very nice serving drinks"
Pros: "Check in time was fast"

Cons: "Tiny seats. Very uncomfortable for 17 hours."
Cons: "Late departure. Sat on tarmac for 20 minutes"
Pros: "Better than walking!"
Cons: "Extremely cramped space."
Pros: "I really like American. The seats were comfy and legroom was adequate. I especially liked the individual screens and free in-flight “Netflix” movie service, which kept my 2 year olds occupied for the 4 hour flight. I see no need to fly any other airline."
Pros: "On time and what was advertised. Considering that the flight was after Thanksgiving and very full, we still had a good experience."
Pros: "ON TIME"
Cons: "NO ROOM TO BREATHE. AISLE TOO SMALL TO WALK WITHOUT HITTING SOMEONE AA IS MAKING BILLIONS PER YEAR IN PROFIT. SO CHEAP, YET PRICES ARE SOOOOOOO HIGH"
Pros: "Boarded quickly. That's it"
Cons: "Food was terrible Service on board was unfriendly and inattentive Onboard security was shady - flight attendants allowed congregating around exits, isles, bathrooms. Also allowed large groups of people who knew each other to congregate in huddles."
Pros: "There was surprisingly a great amount of legroom"
Pros: "Staff was fantastic. I was travelling with my 83 yr old mother and the counter staff couldn't have been more helpful. Very compassionate which was much appreciated. Really made a tough job much easier. I wish I had thought to get all their names. They made the trip...though others throughout the trip were just fantastic--including especially the wheelchair attendants."
Pros: "Plenty empty seats, so I had enough room. Arrival earlier than scheduled, crew provided good service"
Cons: "Food (I had pasta)was lousy, the little TV screen was EXTREMELY unresponsive, Most of the time it would not work - unable to make selections. Seat 19C"
Pros: "Everything was timely, courteous & pleasant. The aircraft was very clean."
Pros: "Baggage drop agent in Oakland excellent Great A319 w power outlets Thanks"
Pros: "I did like that the flight attendant checked my bag for me land was very forth coming on tips on how to save money with traveling. The fights we very smooth."
Cons: "I didn't like that airport staff didn't alert when the plane was leaving (no announcement was made and staff gave wrong information, I ended up"
Pros: "Excellent entertainment options"
Cons: "Wi-fi not available for most of the flight. Very uncomfortable middle seats for long flights such as this one."
Pros: "I was treated in a professional fashion"
Cons: "I don't think it is right for the airlines to have any passenger seating in such a tight space."
Pros: "Nothing in particular."
Cons: "The 10:50 PM flight was delayed beyond midnight with no prior indication. The reason given was the flight from Dallas delayed due to weather. This looks childish. Why not pay for inconvenience. Is our time and hardship so invaluable?"
Pros: "Plenty of room for this guy, 6'2", in economy. We had just landed a few hours before from a 8.5 hour flight from Paris. Plenty of seat room. The service was good. Arrived early."
Cons: "There wasn't entertainment options without using your own devise. Much nicer having it built in but I realize that is the way of the future. The seat itself was very stiff. There was no comfort in the chair itself. It looked comfy but felt like a hard chair, unfortunate. No charging stations at Philly and the outlets didn't work to charge phones."
Pros: "Customer Service at SEA was great. we were checking bags directly to Madrid and they were very helpful"
Cons: "I had paid for a Bulk head seat Row 7. But since we had a in Cabin pet, my wife was moved down to Row 18 and a much smaller seat. I need to get a refund for the price I paid."
Pros: "The attendants were helpful and Kind"
Cons: "Prices, again."
Pros: "Nice employee's"
Cons: "Plane seat were cramped and worn out. Over priced food"
Cons: "Served drink as they prepped for landing"
Pros: "I did not like anything about the flight to be honest. Oh wait you did have cool club lights that were blue that tried to distract me from the fact that I had to take an American airlines flight."
Cons: "Holy moly. You know if you stopped charging extra money for checked baggage you wouldn't have a ridiculously annoying amount of customers with too many bags for overhead storage. Then you wouldn't have to threaten your customers to store their small bags under the seat. Then I would have room for my feet under the seat. When I would have been comfortable. I also wouldn't have to annoy my neighbor with trying to move and get comfortable. But instead the exact opposite happened and I'm offended you guys have America anywhere near your name."
Cons: "The flight movies and entertainment were down the whole flights but only for our seats. Which on an international flight was the pits."
Pros: "It was fine"
Pros: "Nothing I like"
Cons: "Family trip ruined because of the delay departure. And the airline is not able to do anything to make this situation better. The wait line is over an hour. Most ppl miss their flights. The crew member at the desk is very rude and doesn't have patience to explain my questions. Unsatisfied experience ever!"
