American Airlines flight

first leg of the flight was absolutely awful! The staff was rude and the conditions of the plane were atrocious. For anyone with breathing/lung issues I feel bad for you! The mold/mildew on the ceiling of the flight had me coughing and using my rescue inhaler. (Pics for proof). On the second leg of the flight we were told 1 minute before boarding that there was now a delay due to a missing flight attendant, once the back up arrived (25 minutes later) they sauntered in as if they had not a care on the world for anyone being late or missing their connecting flight. Another passenger said something about this to the flight attendant and got the response "it's not my problem I'm not the missing flight attendant". The crew was extremely rude! Once I made the call to AA they basically said here is 7500 miles (being their flights are between 40,000 and 50,000 miles) I felt this was an insult, they also stated that since I completed my flight, they would not give any sort of refund (even though both legs were absolutely horrible) DO NOT FLY THIS AIRLINE!

Not a lot of people traveling

I enjoy flying American Airlines mostly because the flight attendants have excellent customer service. This last time I flew was allot different experience. The flights are still full which shocked me because I was told spacing between seats was in effect. The in flight beverages and snacks has been eliminated as well. I understand the beverage and snack policy though. Masks are required the entire flight as well. The world has changed because of Covid 19 and I'm just happy I can still travel by plane. The service was wonderful and the plane boarding and Unboarding went smoothly. The plane was clean as well. American Airlines has the flying business down to an efficient science. Looking forward to next months trip to Miami on American Airlines. They keep my business because they do what's right for the customer every time. Give them a try and you'll be happy you did.

Warning!!! I do not recommend this airline. The temperature was extremely cold on the plane flying to Florida and extremely hot flying from Florida. In otherwords, poor air circulation. My DKNY baggage was damaged and busted open to the extent my clothing were falling out of my luggage coming off the belt at 1:00am. There was noone around to help. I got home and tried to file a claim and the website would not let me because I needed a incident report number in order to submit the claim. After countless hours if trying to reach someone, I finally received a returned call referring me to baggage with an email address. I sent everything to baggage: pictures of the damaged luggage, receipts, claim number, airline ticket, identification and everything needed requesting an incident number to file my claim. It was denied. Remember, this happened to me and could happen to anyone else. American Airlines doesn't provide any customer service, they don't care about your personal belongings and to fly American Airlines in the air could be detrimental to you. Again, THIS IS A WARNING

I was going on a trip to St Lucia. I personally was not in a rush but my friend wanted to go. We got a covid test because this the requirement for entry. 5 day results prior to entry. Its the first time i traveled during covud but did not know how crazy it was. We contacted Uber for a pickup but I guess everyone is sleep at 5am. We drove ourselves to the airport and parked in the Blue lot. Pretty simple. We then proceeded inside. This is where there was total Kaos. The agent that assisted with the checkin was really helpful. We had to pull up our test results and destination. We even got bumped ahead because out flight time was approaching. We were directed to the line and were told to go to a shorter line on the other side for the security check. Nope...You need to go back. That is closer. Then to make matters worse they did not put TSA PRE on our tickets. Once we got up to the check they put my bag back through twice. First time was a bad scan, second time was for a gel based mouse pad. WOW. After all of this I missed my flight by half a minute. I will be doing it all over again tomorrow. Instead of showing up an hour and a half early I will do 2 this time. Hope to get through the Kaos. Crazy times.

They had complimentary water, coffee, juice or soda. They had choices of three snacks: chocolate cookie, pretzels or fruit bar. I always get a chocolate cookie and cranberry juice. The flight attendants also went up and down the aisles multiple times and offered water and orange juice. This was one of their older and smaller planes, so no screen on the back of the seats. You need to use your phone or iPad. They do offer complimentary movies and shows from their app.

My wife and I used United Airlines to travel to Chania, Crete from DTW Detroit, Michigan on October…read more12, 2025 returning October 21, 2025. Our first flight was a direct flight from Detroit, Michigan to Frankfurt, Germany (10hr flight). The overall flight was pleasant initially until we had to land. Our next flight was scheduled by United Airlines with one their partners Discover Airlines which took off at 4:45am. Mind you the flight to Frankfurt wasn't supposed to land until 6:15am. What was so frustrating in this moment was that our connecting flight was originally supposed to leave at 8:30am giving us ample time to get from Frankfurt to Chania, Crete. The unfortunate and most frustrating part of this was that we were not updated of the change and we were completely stuck in a foreign country where it was not pleasant getting a rescheduled flight to Athens, Greece. The online help in rebooking us on the flight was great but yet again we almost missed the connecting flight from Athens, Greece to Chania, Crete due to a late departure and barely 20 minutes to depart a 300 person plane (we were at the back). Somehow we made it and were able to board our flight to Chania, Crete to start our honeymoon. The experience there was breathtaking and I'd recommend going to anyone...just not through United Airlines or their partners as if there is a booking issue they point at the other airline and state it is their fault, no responsibility is taken and they give you a $100 voucher for your wasted time, rebooked flights, and refund your checked bags. My time is worth more than $100 which I cannot get back. With the delays we arrived 5 hours later than expected. Luckily our bags somehow arrived. We thought that this was the end....but we were wrong. On October 21, 2025 we flew home through our flight from Chania, Crete to Athens, Greece. We left on time and made it to Athens. We made our second flight from Athens to IAD in Washington D.C. We made it to the US! It took 15 minutes to reach the gate where another plane landed 15 minutes late and thus we ended up sitting for 45 minutes before we could even deboard. We had to deboard, go through U.S. customs and reclaim our bags. This is where our nightmare began. The baggage we thought and were told to pickup after going through customs was supposed to be at baggage carrier 3. We waited. And waited but our bags never showed up. Why you ask? Well that's because they went to Frankfurt, Germany where who the hell knows why. We never had a connection there and United blamed it on their partner Lufthansa. Either way we had no bags, no connecting flight cause mind you we had 1 hour to get through customs, grab the bags, go through security, and reach a gate on the other side of the airport. Well we missed it of course and the nerve of this airline blaming it on TSA agents. That's when my nerve broke and I started to lose my cool. Well we demanded they rebook us and of course there were no more direct flights to Detroit for that day. So it was either stay the night and wait for a flight the next day or take a connection to Chicago which then connected to Detroit. Well we decided that route. Mind you we arrived on time in Chicago but of course the terminal was on the other side 18 minute walk. We made it just in time 5 minutes to boarding. We boarded and made it to Detroit at 11:48pm October 21, 2025. Our baggage never arrived and is scheduled to hopefully arrive today at 3:09pm and delivered to our home. This was the worst international flight experience my wife and I ever had. In the future we will be taking direct flights and if I can avoid United or their partners I will do such that.

I took the time this morning to create an account with Budget and sign up for Fast Break so I could go straight to my car. After taking the shuttle to the car lot I wandered around in freezing rain and couldn't find where to go. I went back to the counter area and found someone that would listen to me that told me that Fast Break was "unavailable" today and I'd have to get in line. A line a lot longer than when I arrived but zero communication from Budget ... Yeah. Fun. 2 counter attendants and like 20 people in line. No way I get to my destination on time. They have QR codes posted everywhere to scan to shorten time then don't bother to keep up their end of the bargain yet if you complain, it's not fixed and no one cares so what is happening in America these days? Bad service, long lines, rude people... Goodness! I tried and still lost :( Budget was really really bad today on my first (and last) experience with them Also, the shuttle from DTW? Driver didn't even try standing up to help people with luggage even when a passenger struggled to get a heavy bag up the steep steps. Just sat there staring. And still had a Tip Jar 2 feet away. Yikes!

It was nice seeing my name on the screen when the shuttle got us there. The only issue is that service is only provided during certain hours of the day, and when your plane arrives at 11pm, you have to go inside, and wait in the extremely long line where they are understaffed. One of the staffers did say for me to just go pick out the car and gave me an upgrade for the inconvenience which was nice. I would rent from them again. 2025-11 #562

In the end it worked out, but this story is mind-blowing. I went to check in online for my flight,…read more24 hours ahead of time. There was an option to pay $15 more per person for expedited security. I hesitated because there are four in my family, but paid to have peace of mind. I printed the boarding passes. When we got to TSA Pre-check, I showed the boarding passes and they said I had to return to the check-in counter to get a sticker or stamp. I did and they said that the airport (Detroit International) was "too small" for JetBlue to have this feature (even though this is a huge hub for many airlines)! But, I could call JetBlue and get a refund - no problem. (This made no sense!) We ran to the regular Security, at the other end of the terminal. When I called JetBlue, the first agent told me that I couldn't get a refund because we had already used the tickets (!) - i.e. that we hadn't made the call (which took 30 minutes) before going through Security (!), but we could get a JetBlue credit on a future flight. I asked to speak with the manager and spoke with two managers, and the 2nd manager said she couldn't change the policy and actually hung up on me (!). I called back and was greeted courteously and the matter was taken care of. The agent said I would get a refund and even apologized for the drama (!). Persistence pays off, but what kind of customer service is this?
