American Airlines Reviews

Experience out of control
Sat on the runway for 3 1/2 hours before leaving for a flight this weekend. They say it was on account of weather, but were they seriously unable to tell us that BEFORE boarding the hot, stuffy plane only to sit there that long? They tried hard to accommodate by playing You, Me & Dupress (Michale Douglas has not been in one good movie since he’s gone grey) – sitting through the film added insult to injury. I have nothing good to say about this flight, knowing full well how hard they worked to make us comfortable. Unfortunately, this experience was out of their control.

Agents gave me wrong baggage information
I talked to three different American Airlines ticket agents concerning my flight. I needed specific information because I was traveling international with a dog. They told me wrong and I got stopped at the airport. I could not pay for an extra bag due to an embargo on baggage. I had to send the dog ahead, I spent two nights in the airport.

I complained to the AA Customer service manager. He said they had too few employees and too many flights. He said that I should have verified the info on their website. So I have to check their database, the same database they use, to get info that their employees could not find?

They do not care about the customer. I had to spend two nights and $300 extra dollars while my wife and dog went ahead. AA is awful and they do not care about us.

Bad customer service
Because of its dispute with Orbitz, American Airlines tried to charge me a "ticketing fee" on top of the $150 change fee it was already charging to use credit from a previously canceled reservation. It took several calls to the AA reservations agents and a request to speak with a supervisor before American agreed that the fee was wrongly instituted.

If I could, I would have flown any airline other than American (except United), but I was using credit from a reservation made by a client.

American, United, and to a lesser degree Delta Airlines seem to believe that they would be much better businesses if only they did not have to deal with pesky customers. Actually, FedEx and UPS take more care with their packages than American takes with its passengers.

Southwest Airlines does not charge ticket change fees -- the only major airline to do so, I believe - and treats me like a valued customer rather than a lump of rancid meat. The so-called "legacy carriers" seem to have forgotten why they fly in the first place, and deserve to fail.

Sucks!
They steal your money and don't let you use it. I paid for tickets for my family to go on vacation and one member could not go. they refuse to let me use the funds toward another more expensive ticket. I am now out over $600. They don't care and I have exhausted appeals with them. I will never fly with them again!

unbelievable fee
my wife has gone by another name for the 30+ years we have been married. i recently made reservations for the two of us, and realized the name on the ticket was not the same as that on her drier's license. it is still a month until the flight. american airlines wants $150 to just change the name! it seems ridiculous that they can hold you up for a simple matter like that. maybe if i called an hour before the flight it might make a little sense, but this is outright robbery

Whose Running the Ship?
What a nightmare! My husband recently re-booked award tickets to Belize. I made the changes in December. At the end of the call, just after the agent confirmed payment detaisl, we were disconnected. I immediately called back and was told that the updated reservations were in the system and we were good to go. A few days ago, it occured to me that I hadn't received any kind of email confirmation. I call AA, and after spending time in the automated system, was given confirmation of the two reservations and was even told our seat assignments. Still, I wanted an email confirmation, so after spending more time trying to find a real person and being transfered from department to department, I was told that in fact, only I had a ticket, but my husband had only a reservation, not an actual ticket. Does thta make sense to you? Becuase it sure doesn;t to me. So, after another 30 minute call (and more money being paid to AA), his reservation became a ticket. Phew, right? Now we're done. Nope. The next day I realize that I still have only received one email confirmation - for my husband, Brook - and none for me. So I call back AGAIN. This time I am told tha tthe agent accidentally booked to tickets for Brook, but none for me. What? How can that be? Do we had to go through it all over again (and pay more $ to AA!!) This has been an unbelievably frustrating and difficult process. I would expect at least an upgrade but the mamager told me they don't upgrade based on service issues. I am rethinking my commitment to flying AA. And I'm just glad that I was perseverent and kept calling. I can only imagine the nightmare of showing up at the airport to be told our reservations weren't really tickets!

Refund/Cancellation Scam
After researching and comparing prices, refunds, cancellations and restrictions. I chose American Airlines. This was a terrible mistake. First off, I made sure, prior to booking this fliight, that the ticket would be refundable. I read their policy and everything. Even the flight details showed that the flight was refundable and if cancelled prior to the departure time, the ticket will be refunded. WRONG!!! I cancelled this flight within 24 hours, about a week before the departure flight date. Days before my credit card was even charged. I contacted customer service and requested a refund and the lady advised me that I would only be able to reschedule the flight, within one year from that date, as it will be reissued to use later, and no one else, except the person whose name is on the ticket would be able to use the ticket. This is crap, a straight scam and lousy service.

Charges you $5 dollars for them to send you your itinerary!
I had to change my itinerary on a return international ticket and was told I would receive the updated itinerary through email, which I didn't get.

I called back to AA to ask for it to be sent again. The lady on the other end asked me to be absolutely sure because to have the itinerary resent AA would charge me $5.00. When I expressed my displeasure she didn't even bother trying to explain further, instead she transferred me to her supervisor (knowing very well I was calling long distance). I waited longer than 10 minutes.

DISCOUNT COUPON
I used the AVIS offer that AA sells at your web site (Save up to 35% with every Avis rental plus earn up to 3000 bonus miles, using American Airlines Avis Worldwide Discount (AWD) number K817165 and the coupon numberMUAA022) and made a reservation at AVIS. Now AVIS and AA are refusing to give me the DISCOUNT that they offered me! I'm trying to solve this problem with both, but no one cares!

Bad business
First I will start this letter off by saying I am very dissatisfied with the customer service I received from not 1, not 2, but 3 supervisors at American Advantage and reservations departments. Because of the way I was treated with this situation, I will probably no longer be flying with American Airlines. As a customer, I do have choices in air travel and I will not fly with a company that doesn't stand by what their employees tells their customers.

I am writing you concerning a situation and conversation I had with three Advantage and reservation so called supervisors. I called concerning a award ticket that I had booked for Oct 11th 2009. I ended up canceling this flight back in 2009. When I called up and canceled I was told that I have 1 year from date of travel to use this ticket which would be Oct 11th 2010. When I called up to use this ticket I was told that since it was booked on Oct 5th that I only had up until Oct 5th to use the ticket. I told her that its not my fault your employee gave me miss information, I was told that I had 1 year from the date of travel.

I was then told we will make an exception and give me back the mileage for a $150 fee. I then asked so you want me to pay for your employees mistake.

When I asked for names from all 3 Supervisors, all got was the run around and was treated quite rude. The 3 supervisors in question are Judy (wouldn't give me full name), John Emerson, Denise who was the rudest of them all.
