I'm really disappointed with American Airlines! I bought a ticket to Brazil (OIYGAR - AA 1086), supposed to departure on July, 31, 2016! The flight was canceled and nobody say anything to us. We just realized it when we were in the line, at the airport, in Boston!
They tried to rescheduled us to another flight to Miami (AA 1006, supposed to leave at 3:15pm, but because of the delay, left at 8:05pm). The flight was really delayed. We arrived at Miami, landed at 23:34, and wait more 25 min to get out of the airplane.
Nobody knows anything, no informations at all!
At 2:14am, I still were on line, huge line (as you can see in the video). They are saying that the next flight To Brazil, with available place, is on Sunday (yes, Sunday, in six day) because the summer Olympic Games. They don't want to give us no accommodations, neither food. No idea about return date! We were starving and thirsty, and no water available here! All stores are closed and no idea where my luggages were!
I'm physician in Brasil, and a had a lot of sick patient to see on Tuesday and the days after, in my office (out patients) and in the hospitals (in patients), and still have night shift on Wednesday. No idea how much I gonna miss.
Me and my girlfriend were in panic, we couldn't miss the flight to Brazil. My money run out, my credit doesn't work, I had a lot of shift in Brasil's hospitals the next days and I lot of patients scheduled to see!
I would like some answer about this, not just for the money I lost (airplane tickets, international calls, baggage, food, hotel) but for the time that we lost on it, the huge stress and all the problem with this situation! Almost all employees were really rude with us, and they don't have ideia about what to do, just send to one place to another, for hours (at least 8 hour spent in lines and talking with unpolite employees).
When I arrived in Brazil (Rio de Janeiro, not my final destination), on august, 2 (more than 48h later), they told me that didn´t know about my bags and my next flight to my final destination would be just 5pm. I arrived in my city (Fortaleza), two days later and without ant luggage.
I'm trying fist to write to American Airlines to solve this huge problem,
Sincerely, read more
