Overall, it was a very good experience. I would have given it a 10/10, especially based on our flight from SFO to Melbourne. The cabin crew on that flight were wonderful and incredibly attentive. They took extra care when setting up our beds so we could sleep comfortably without being disturbed. Dinner was served promptly and smoothly. I woke up quite late, when the flight was already preparing for landing, and the crew still made sure I was taken care of. They brought me English tea in a proper cup, and when it was time to prepare the cabin for landing, they thoughtfully transferred it into a takeaway cup so I could continue enjoying it along with some breakfast. Those small, thoughtful gestures made the long flight feel much more comfortable and special. The service from the SFO to Melbourne crew was truly excellent.
Great food and good entertainment options for the long flight.
Loved the food and beverages available, spacious economy class, excellent entertainment
Very good overall. Highly recommend for all flying to Australia
We had bulkhead seats in a A380 in the upper deck in seats 31 D and E. Storage was very limited other than in overhead bin - which is not within reach when in seat. Yet paying same price as others in premium economy who have a lot more storage within arm’s reach. Seems very unfair.
Good check in and helpful staff. Delayed for 1 hour. Took about 45 Mins to get baggage’s at DFW . Food was average ( Hindu meal ) . Overall it was good experience
When I originally booked this flight, I was expecting to travel on Qantas. When the itinerary changed and the long-haul segment was operated by American Airlines, we were disappointed but remained open-minded. Unfortunately, the overall service experience fell far short of expectations. This was a long-haul international flight. Getting up periodically to use the restroom or stretch is inevitable, especially on flights of this duration. However, each time we stood up, we felt as though we were inconveniencing the crew. The tone and body language often suggested that we were in the way or disrupting something simply by moving about the cabin. As a result, I avoided getting up as often as I needed to and was physically very sore upon arrival. Meal service was similarly impersonal. The options were presented in single words “beef or veggie,” “pasta or beef” without any description of what was actually being served. There was little engagement or courtesy beyond that. Even simple expressions of gratitude were often not acknowledged. I am accustomed to no-frills travel and do not expect luxury. What was disappointing was not the absence of extras, but the absence of basic warmth and professionalism. On a long-haul international flight, small moments of courtesy and humanity make a significant difference. In this case, the experience felt transactional and dismissive rather than welcoming. I hope this feedback is taken constructively, as there is a meaningful difference between efficient service and indifferent service.
Business seats not as comfortable or private as most competitors (e.g. Qantas was outstanding), and movie selection was much more limited than Qantas or United has been recently
Hard to move and get out of my seat when the passenger in front is in recline position.
Basic airline, aircraft and service. AA gets you from point A to B. My flight was delayed by 2 hours too.
It is completely insane to me that first class does not include WiFi. Also does not include lounge access. Port for phone charging did not work. The crew was absolutely lovely, and the food was excellent.
1 person checking us as we boarded, left gate on time, 12.30 we are told we were held for 15 mins as other flights were waiting to take off, captain due to rain … they were having a longer gap between take offs , 3pm we took off , they went land route via New Orleans in to Florida landed at 5.45pm offered coffee and a biscuit
It was good flight was smooth, little cold on the plane but other wise good.
It was great. I really love the app. User friendly and very comprehensive when it comes to having information at my fingertips tips related my travel.
We couldn’t take the direct flight back home in Florida because the flight in Palermo was delayed flor long time and keep us inside the cabin without moving the plane. The plane from Munich to Orlando was still there when we arrived to the gate but they said it was late for us to board the plane. We rushed the most to get there. It was a bad experience and got back exhausted and with pain in all muy body. We are seniors 72 and for us was very bad
The experience with United Airlines was excellent; however, the experience with Houston Intercontinental Airport (IAH) was horrible. Although our flight departed from Terminal B, we had to go through security in Terminal C and then get on a train for travel to Terminal B. Additionally, there was significant walking required to get to the boarding location.
I've been flying American mostly, and it's been very frustrating. This united flight makes me realize maybe the issue isn't flying, but the airline. United was a significantly better experience. The plane was more comfortable, with a normal amount of leg room (vs the ridiculous reductions AA has made), more comfortable seats, screens to watch movies. It was a much better experience!
The flying experience was great. The flight was on time with no boarding issues during a peak travel period. The short cut baggage drop and process was not smooth and efficient at Dulles.
Everything was very good. Boarding and takeoff were on time and organized. Had a good flight
Wasn’t very crowded. Seamless processes. No issues traveling with two little kids.
Three aircraft in succession experienced maintenance issues, resulting in a six-hour delay. The original aircraft required replacement, and the substitute aircraft arrived more than two hours late. Passengers boarded that aircraft, only to be told later to deplane due to maintenance concerns. We then boarded a different aircraft that had arrived at the gate, only to be instructed to deplane once again because it, too, experienced maintenance issues. After hours of delays and two separate boarding and deplaning events, passengers were directed to a third aircraft departing from a different terminal and had to rush across the airport to make that flight. That was the only aircraft that ultimately departed without incident. Of course, passenger safety must come first, and I am grateful these issues were identified before takeoff. However, when three aircraft in succession require maintenance attention and passengers are repeatedly boarded before those issues are discovered, it raises legitimate concerns about American Airlines' preventive maintenance procedures and aircraft readiness checks. One aircraft with an unexpected issue can happen. Three aircraft in a row, combined with multiple boarding and deplaning events, suggests a pattern that warrants review. American Airlines needs to take a hard look at both its maintenance practices and its decision-making process for boarding passengers before determining that an aircraft is ready for service.
Delay for 1 hour due to maintenance issue and late boarding
Flight attendant super rude demanding I remove my carry on baggage from overhead and place under seat. I stated I am an ADA passenger and need the leg room as the seats are very tight. That’s why I boarded early for the extra time to get situated. She said, we need the space. I replied “How can that be as only a few passengers have boarded so far? I am executive platinum status so I understand the rules and you are discriminating against ADA federal law. Please stop”. Her answer… then you should find another flight! Not ok. Addressed with senior flight attendant. So unprofessional and discriminatory.
Good flight, excellent personnel; poor comfort, small seats, big cost.
What an amazing plane! We flew a 787 to Miami. Although the Internet was not functioning, it was a wonderful flight.
Plane from partner PSA was filthy. Plastic needs to be thoroughly cleaned. Really disgusting to look at and wonder about cleanliness of parts less visible.
We didn't take off until an hour after we boarded.
I had a very unpleasant encounter with one man from customer service: he was extremely rude and miserable. And his condition was reflected on his decision to send me to the worst airport hotel and get an awful flight connection. My hotel shuttle had never arrived and I had to book another hotel. People served by other representatives got a much better treatment and deal.
WiFi wasn’t working on the flight, several delays and gate changes, ended up taking off 3 hrs later
The gate agent Sasir was rude and disrespect as we boarded
