  • American Airlines and Eagle, a miserable experience in the air!

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jan 7, 2004
    Pros: More room throughout coach
    Cons: Less room throughout coach in the future!

    Summary: As a Platinum Advantage member of American Airlines, I have done quite a bit of traveling on AA and its smaller airline, American Eagle. Normally, the flights are decent enough, considering the cutbacks and security hassles. But my flight on January 7th ... read more

  • American Airlines "Something Special In The Air"

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jan 3, 2004
    Pros: Extra leg room
    Cons: Bad food and inflight entertainment. Extra leg room is not on all planes.

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Nov 17, 2003
    Pros: Leg Room, Movies & TV shows on a long flight
    Cons: Scary when the crew must familiarize itself with the aircraft right before flight.

    Summary: Oh, where to begin. My first flight in a very long time was on American Airlines from El Paso to Dallas, TX. For such a short flight this was a nerve wracking experience. We should have known what to expect when we purchased our tickets. The associate ... read more

    Nov 10, 2003

    Cons: Obscenely poor service.
