    Pros: good service, safe, dependable
    Cons: A bit pricey compared to others

    Nov 29, 2000
    Pros: Leg room, meals when you feel like it
    Cons: no hot food

    Summary: My least favorite part of flying was always getting squashed into a corner by the people around you and then having the person in front of me put their seat back. I never understood how anyone who was claustrophobic could stand it. I flew ... read more

    Nov 26, 2000
    Pros: Great Flights
    Cons: Prices can be steep

    Nov 25, 2000
    Pros: Their Advantage program
    Cons: representatives attitudes

    Summary: I've always travelled on American from Nassau to Miami in the past few years, but more recently it seems as though the service is slipping because they feel that they have that market "in the bag" so customer service isn't important. More and ... read more

    Nov 24, 2000
    Pros: Cheap Fares
    Cons: Incompetent Pilots

    Summary: My first trip with American Airlines was my last trip. Disregarding the horrible service, the captain of the flight didn't even know where we were supposed to be heading. We were suppose to be heading for Iowa City, Iowa, but we ended up half way ... read more

    Pros: Good Price, Good Service, Clean and Generally On time, Great pilots.
    Cons: Leg room still a problem on some flights, no computer hook ups on 757, and still no room where its needed, width wise, on those long trips.

    Summary: I love to fly and always have. In fact, I even used to be a big fan of American. Most of my past experience (at least 3 times annually) is within the continental US. American has seemed to always be the most reasonably priced. But in the last ... read more

    Nov 20, 2000
    Pros: Excellent attention to important details
    Cons: None

  • I've Got Your "Something Special" Right Here...

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Nov 13, 2000
    Pros: It was free. Ginger Ale's always good.
    Cons: Too many things went wrong and the attendants were nearly outright rude or at least completely apathetic. Terrible airplane food.

    Summary: I'm always a little wary when I read opinions on one-time services and now that I'm writing one, I have to stay a bit wary not to make this a rant. I understand that sometimes, things don't work out and there's nothing anyone can do about ... read more

    Pros: reservation agents
    Cons: customer service, baggage handling, honesty

    Summary: To start on a positive note, American Airlines reservation staff—both over the phone and at their downtown San Francisco office—are friendly and efficient. . The moral of my story is already in the title. After telling the story, I will ... read more

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Nov 9, 2000
    Pros: Tend to be cheapest national carrier, good service on ground and in flight.
    Cons: None in my experience, except maybe somewhat dirty planes and the one delay I had...

    Summary: Okay, this trip took place a few years back, in 1997 to be exact. But the memory is still very fresh in my mind. I have flown them numerous times before and later, after this trip, but since the flight hours were the longest I feel it’s best to write my ... read more
