Great. Food going from Australia to the US was better than other way around, but still needs improvement in terms of quality and quantity!!!
The crew were very nice. I would have appreciated a pillow for comfort. I had a special meal that was sloppy, but the salad was great. Thanks
Boarding is very confusing. They have Line 1 and Line 2 and many many Boarding groups. Everyone lines up under those two lines long before they call zones. If you have a higher zone 2 like I did due to a Premium Plus ticket, it’s very awkward having to ask each person which zone they have. Extremely chaotic process. On board the flight attendants had no charisma whatsoever, even to us paying extra for an upgraded cabin. I asked for a chamomile tea after dinner (as no coffee or tea was even offered) and the FÃ said they didn’t have even though listed on the drink menu. Also, the mid flight service was entirely skipped which was a soup and sandwich combo. Supposedly had a variety of snacks mid flight too but those never materialized either. A few times I walked Back there, not a single flight attendant acknowledged me as they were all deep into their iPhones. I simply Wanted a glass of water since ZERO water runs were made on this 9hr 30 min flight.
Horrifying! And I am almost 2 million miles with United. Late by 3 1/2 hours. Worst: after two hours on the plane waiting, they decided that one of the tires had been damaged and then decided to change it. Another hour and a half to change the tire!!!!! NO EXCUSE FOR THIS. The crew didn't even offer a glass of water until we had been on the plane for FIVE hours. This is the worst airline in the world. I'm simply stuck because they fly on the only routes I need.
Check-in at 4:30 am in the morning was very quick and efficient.
Flight delayed over 2 hours . I was flying bussiness never got food cause they ran out of what i wanted
Overall good flight. The pilots were excellent. It was a nice flight, but the seats were a little uncomfortable.
There was no air on the plane and it was very hot.
Horrible; seating was atrocious - inadequate leg room and seat width tight even for a small individual. Profits shouldn’t be everything!
Late out of the gate, late to takeoff. No screens on plane. Uncomfortable window seat.
Frustrated with the check-in experience. Too much 'we say, they say' going on resulting in extra fees for me and 35 minutes at the counter.
The flight left a bit late, but arrived close to time expected…With the flight being close to full the crew did well serving drinks to all in a very timely fashion. The flight was a pleasure…
I was in a wheelchair and went from international to domestic. I was transferred to several different modes of transport and expected to give a tip at each transfer. I was, although, grateful to get to the gate in time for my flight.
The flight was good. The only reason I did not say “excellent” was the delay
Airlines must do something with overweight people... Maybe reserve a business class seat for them, or you could pay the consequences if someone overweight seat side by side to you in economy.
Finding the gate was very confusing. Our boarding pass listed one gate and the staff verbally told us a different gate.
The departing flight from Newark to Charlotte was fine. It was the returning flight from Charlotte to Newark that was awful. We had scheduled an 8:35pm return flight time. We got delayed TEN times all the way to 5am in the morning! We were told over 4 different excuses as to why the flight kept getting delayed. First it was the flight crew needed to rest, then it was something technical with the plane, then it was something with air traffic control, and finally it was because they couldn’t find a captain and had to wait until the morning so the captain could get some rest. It was terrible sleeping overnight in the airport. They offered a $12 meal voucher. That was it! And the only place open in the middle of the night was Dunkin’ Donuts who didn’t even accept the voucher. They should have cancelled the flight much earlier on in the evening instead of just stringing us along hour by hour with more delays. Not professional and unacceptable. There was no refund for inconvenience. I probably will not be flying American Airlines again.
Checked in the minute I was allowed and still wound up in group 8 for boarding.
I love to flight american however my carry on had to be sent with regular luggage and it was broken. Don't appreciate that. If when I buy a ticket says I can take a carry on and a hand item there should be space for mwsy stuff and not be basically forced to send the item even if it's at no charge. A.A. needs to work on that. Everything else excellent.
11h50m total delay. Had to switch to another flight that was still a 7h30m delay.
