You know.....*sigh*...what can I say about American. It's a typical modern day airline. It seems the rate of delays is always at an average of 60% (I actually looked it up at some point, I think domestic US flights are all about that range) and the planes always seem to be very claustrophobic and not the most comfortable in the world. Their fleet seems to be getting more on the old side and domestic flights don't seem to offer a lot of nice planes. Do I recommend? I mean they are right on par with any other US based airline company. They have their good, they have there negatives, and I'm sure, as you can see from other reviews, there are swinging pendulums on whether people have good or bad experiences on American. read more

Check in outside the facility was speedy but it's a $3 fee per bag fyi. Boarding process is super slow considering everyone literally has paid for seats. Airlines in my opinion should start from back to front which would cut alot of time of bumping and knocking ppl around trying to get to your seat. Flight attendants were professional and pilots were attentive. You still get a drink and cookies for snack. Movies and tv selection was nice. Flight was smooth heading to Miami! read more

American Airlines - Airlines Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

Say what you will, but as far as I'm concerned. We had an 8am flight but were notified at 4 am that it would be delayed til noon. That was the most courteous any airline has shone us. Just 2 weeks ago, we took southwest and delayed 8 times spanning over almost 8 hrs of waiting at the airport. That is hours of wasted time I can't get back so I wanted to thank American Airlines for this. We got a little more sleep and left accordingly. I also wanted to nice set up on their planes too (usb charging outlets, the QR code for in-flight entertainment, and places to put our phone and iPads for watching. read more

Don't fly this one sacred mainliner. Very few updates on a mechanical delay. Gate change with very few announcements. read more

American Airlines, or to me, American Scarelines where time efficiency goes to die and planes go to maintenance... constantly. They steal about 100 hours of my life on a yearly basis since 2017. The flight attendants are correctional officers with beverage carts and first class is just bigger seats these days. The bigger the seat, the more the disappointment. Good news for them, ALL airlines are bad. If anyone wants to buy me (and insure/maintain) a jet, I'll take flying more seriously. read more

American Airlines is probably one of the worst airlines in our present day. The excuses they come up with in terms of delays is absolutely ridiculous. If it is possible do not fly with them. Stuck in Phoenix waiting for a First Officer, while the other two pilots sit in the waiting area eating Big Mac and fries, who can blame them, even they know it's a full joke. read more

American Airlines still gets my business, mainly for good connections through Chicago and its partnership with British Airways. I've found AA a value-priced option for European travel. This month, I thought I'd use up some coupons and credits to book a less-pricey-than Southwest flight to Florida. I ignored one of my old rules, which is to minimize connections whenever possible, especially during winter. "How risky could a connection through Charlotte be?" I asked myself, early in the month. "Quite risky," I realized, late in the month. On outbound day, AA cancelled my 8-ish a.m. flight at 12:13 a.m. Fortunately, I found seats roughly the same schedule and direct on SWA. Unfortunately, I paid approximately 65% more than I would have had I simply booked SWA at the outset. AA did what it needed to do to get itself out of several days of winter-storm mayhem. So did I, realizing that this time my air-travel bargain shopping ended up being penny-wise pound-foolish. read more

we just spent 12 hours flying cross country and when we arrived at 9:30Saturday night we had a damaged bag. we were exhausted and went home to discover the damage. I drove straight back to the airport Sunday morning to file a claim.Because we missed the 6 hour window to file they denied the claim. AA does not dispute they caused the damage and are just hiding behind the 6 hr window. This was Saturday night late to Sunday morning not The middle of the day. Unbelievable! read more

No issues on a flight from Charlotte to Saint Louis. I typically don't do airline reviews much anymore as they all are hitting pretty average for me. This was fine. read more

Terrible customer service, both in person and over the phone. Fly anyone but American is my recommendation.

I had no issue with American Airlines in St Louis. Normally, when people do a review on a business like this, it is to vent or aire a single incident or gripe. American is always my first choice to fly if I have one. The staff here were professional and friendly. They were also knowledgeable and helpful. My flights out of here have always taken off on time and landed a bit early. Even though the majority of my flights have been smooth, It is pretty much out of their control sometimes. The onboard entertainment on their flights are pretty good. Most all of their planes have wifi that will allow you to track your flight, see connecting gate information, listen to music and view live television and movies from your own personal device. Their snacks leave a bit to be desired. They do give you the full can drinks the majority of the time, but they only have those nasty rectangular cookies. Bring back the pretzels and peanuts. On a positive note my flight was a little more than an hour, a couple of times, and they still served snacks. I enjoy flying with American and am sad to see that they have gotten so many negative reviews. Welll over 90% of my experiences with the airline have been positive. But I guess to each their own. read more

My wife got an e-mail telling her that 12,140 points had been removed from her account. We call the next morning to check on this . After about 5 or 6 questions to verify who she was, they told us that someone had purchased a gift card with her points. After we convinced then that it was not her they told us that they would do NOTHING to get her points back. They told us that we could contact customer service for help. We e-mailed them over a week ago and have not heard a word back. My wife is 80 years old and has been a member for as long as we can remember. That is not the way to treat a loyal customer. billrubes@aol.com. read more

Front desk employees who are supposed to help you check are rude, giving attitude, and just not easy to work with - and I usually give a bit of grace. I definitely don't enjoy giving bad reviews nor do I give many of them but I very much share the common frustration that others have also commented on regarding this airline at this particular airport. At least the flight attendees were pleasant to speak with and have some decency. read more

I've booked two flights in the last month. I sacrificed precious time with family to leave early for a specific itinerary and now I'm twiddling my thumbs at the airport. Both flights had big delays. AA was useless when I called customer service. All these DEI hires are making hell for travelers. American Airlines: do better. read more

We purchased 2 business class tickets to Bangor Maine from St. Louis MO. We arrived on time for a 7:50 am flight. That flight was delayed so we would miss our connecting flight in charlotte. We were rebooked on a 10:08 am flight to Dallas. Then to Philadelphia. Both flights down graded to economy. Our final flight of the day is to Bangor getting in at 11:00 pm. Hoping we make it to the car rental. What a mess!!!! I'm so done with American. This is not the first time we have had issues. We are sitting on the plane now to Dallas. Doubt we will make it to Bar Harbor tonight. It makes traveling not worth it anymore. Now I'll have to put in a claim and try and get my money back for our business class seats. Horrible!!! read more

I feel like American Airlines did a bait and switch with Sky West. Pay attention when you're booking a flight. American Airlines has farmed out some of their flights to Sky West. The plane says American Eagle and the cockpit outside it reads "operated by Sky West". The plane is smaller. The experience is notably, novice. Our pilot missed the deboarding platform by 1 foot so we all had to sit back down and seatbelt up again. I could also tell by the rough way we prepared to land. But the most important inconvenience was that once we got to the main terminal, they had us go through a door onto a shuttle to another location where smaller planes are, a makeshift terminal, which added an additional 30 to 45 minutes each way. There were two extensive lines for terminals four and five. Both were the same length to get on the shuttle to the main terminal. When the line in front of me emptied onto the shuttle, the girl in the yellow vest literally pulled the blue strap from the poles right in front of me when I was the only one left standing! I had been there the whole entire time even when the line was long! The chaos was palpable because they don't know what they're doing and when you're tired from a flight, the last thing you wanna do is take a shuttle to the real terminal. The shuttle is literally in traffic against the airplanes on the tarmac. Not only that, but after you get shuttled to the main terminal, you have a 5-10 minute walk to get to passenger pickup! Very disappointing because I have the AA credit card and was choosing American Airlines, not Sky West. The seats seem more cramped and the seatbelts are smaller. No place to pitch your phone for a movie. Not impressed at all. read more

American airlines is the worst. If the option is American airlines or walking, I'll walk. They cancelled our 2 pm flight then bumped us to a 5am flight the next day with a 10 hour layover, even though they had a 6 pm flight. We paid extra to select our seats on a non-stop flight but that wasn't taken into consideration when "Princess" rebooked us. When I asked the staff at the airport why we didn't get the seating we paid for she didn't know anything. It took three calls to get our seats confirmed. They refused to give us hotel accomodations, claiming the cancellation was due to the weather even though other airlines were flying. This was the second time in 6 months that American bumped my family members. This booking was my first and last flight with American. If you want quality service and to leave and return home DON'T FLY America airlines. read more

I had a 5:50am flight from Appleton to Chicago and they boarded us on the plane. After an hour and thirty minutes of sitting on the runway, they say the plane had a history of issues and returned us back to the airport. With doing that we missed our connecting flight that was supposed to leave at 9am and causing us for have to buy a new flight that didn't leave until 7pm. This caused us to miss a day of vacation that we paid for and there was no compassion, no understanding, and no willing to help. read more

We had a 48 hour delay with American Airlines. They kept canceling our flights and did not even pay for a hotel. They were not helpful with getting us on the next possible flights and we became stranded. The only thing they did was put us on standby for a flight that ended up being canceled! We were supposed to be home to St.Louis on Sunday but did not arrive until Tuesday night thanks to a different airline. We are still working on getting our refund from American Airlines. The entire experience was ridiculous and I don't think I will ever fly American again. read more

This is possibly the worst airline known to mankind. This is the second time this year that I've not been allowed on a flight even though I'm almost an hour early before departure. When asking for assistance at the front desk, the workers are absolutely incompetent always deferring to a different staff member just to end up telling you "you have to call" and when you do try to call it'll take an average of 20-30min to get your call answered. For future reference, it's probably a good idea to just sleep at the airport the night BEFORE your flight so they'll let you on the plan xD Even then I'm not sure they'd let you on! The staff was extremely rude and acting as if your questions are inconveniencing them. Like, I am trying to figure out this disaster of a situation and you're looking blankly at me as if I have the answers or know when the next flights are! Crazy! Lol American Airlines is lowkey worse than spirit airlines at this point so y'all can add them to the memes. American Airlines in St.Louis... no comment read more

Being able to change name and age without buying a new ticket. I prefer delta airlines.

I had the worst experience getting simple problems solved over the phone. Once you get to talk to a live representative it's fine but until ypu get there, might as well quit your day job! Several Menü options get you in a circle of hell and several times when asked to put in option '1 'or '2' in the bot did not accept the answer. When asked to be called back I was told it be 7-13 min.. the call arrived more than 25 min later! Also I but in my TSA number in on multi city trip and the only airline that did not stick was AA! Air travel has become a pain but as Dante notes there are several levels to hell... read more

American Airlines often gets a bad rap. I'm not singing their praises but the truth is they are no better or no worse than most of the other airlines. I mostly fly American because I live in St. Louis and they have the most choices. I had a seamless trip to New York (LGA). That's all I can ask for, right? read more

I'm finally back to more regular travel for work and this time the schedule worked best with American. Although I was worried when I saw that they had the worst history in terms of delays and cancellations surrounding the July 4th holiday, I crossed my fingers and got to the airport early. I was on a small plane heading out to Detroit (the single seats along one end and two in the other, no first class) and the whole process of making people check their bags at the gate went faster than I expected. We boarded on time, left on time - even had soft drinks and pretzels and landed early! On the way home I was sure something would go wrong since there was bad weather passing through. But, even with a delay in boarding because of lightening (the jet bridge can't be out when lightning is spotted) the gate personnel ran the process of checking bags like the military and we got out on time and landed early. We did only get water and snacks in coach this time around, but I'll take this over delays any day!! Hooray American Airlines!! read more

Ok so this was my experience with American Airlines. I have flown with them several times but this is the first time I feel like people were profiling me. To be clear I literally have flown with them several times but this time was like no other. 1 they changed the location of the flight with felt like a hike in LGA AIRPORT. 2 they told my husband the mask he was wearing was not something they allow anymore. I mean I completely understand but the same man that told my husband he could wear a particular mask another guy ‍with the same mask didn't get asked to change his mask. 3rd let me say that I very much dress in sweat when I get on the plane because I want to be comfortable. So anyways I pay extra for main cabin because who doesn't like space ya know. So anywhos when I was going to sit in my spot the flight attendant stopped me in my tracks and asked me do I suppose to be sitting here. Like what the hell? I can see if I looked confused but dang you really just walked up and assumed I don't suppose to be here man that hurt. I again want to acknowledge that I have flown with them a lot and have not experienced this any other time but I do want to just share my experience. read more

I was happily pleased to know that in certain seats they have outlets!! Also...here's a tip for those taking morning flights out... Make your own breakfast on the plane. 2 bags of instant oatmeal chopped up fruit **ask the attendant for 2 cups** 1cup full of hot water Pour the 2 bags of instant oatmeal into one cup. Pour the hot water over the cereal...don't overflow!! Mix and add your fruit! Don't forget to ask for a beverage of your choice! Yummy totally worth it breakfast! Add a cup of yogurt...nuttella or tidbit of peanut butter for an extra zing (watch out for the smell of peanut butter...some folks have allergic reactions to the smell of peanut butter). *btw, check in crew should stop ALL conversations when they see folks are in line. The old biddy that checked me in said I was 2 minutes late so she put me on a different flight with 3 stops. WTF. stop talking and she would have seen me waiting 5 minutes for her silly %$@. The other crew member at the gate hooked me up and was pleasant. She knew the person who bullied me. I stood watching as my plane started boarding (the one I was originally booked on) and there was still enough time to have gotten my bags on board or me to check the bag at the gate! (Some folks are so rude and incompetent). Wasn't my fault she wanted to talk....and it was an older Caucasian lady still learning the job. Geesh read more

the whole flight got delayed from 10am to 4 pm. so annoying. i almost had to be the pilot myself.

they need to get their plane fixed and crap together. Here waiting for my fifth hour.

I always fly American but vis-a-vis other American locations this one sucks, especially since the tornado destroyed the C terminal. Tips: * Good food is hard to find behind security, eat in the terminal before. * If you want to have a beer, leave D terminal and go to Schadfly's in B terminal. (though it's not any better, just has a lot more room) * If you're not checking bags, go past AA check-in towards security and there are two check-in machines (no checked bags allowed) that never have a line read more

12 hours in airports for a flight that should have taken less than 4 hours, purchased a 1st class ticket and forced to travel in economy, but all that was not the KICKER. Forced to rent a car and travel from Fort Wayne to Panama Beach Airport to get said flight - only to discover that several Caucasian travelers were offered free shuttle service from and to the same airport. I am just real happy that I was not traveling with small children who would have been able to witness for themselves this blatant act of racial discrimination - yes in the year 2019. Even the gifted travelers were appauled and disheartened over obvious discrimination. So what did American Airlines offer me as compensation for my rental fees....a voucher to fly with them again. Yet another slap in my face. read more

Went to St. Louis Airport 2.5 hrs early to fly to my brother's wedding in Europe. At the airport, we were met with a wall of people and an extremely long line. Patiently waited in line about an hour and realized we had barely moved. Walked up to the counter, explained to Richard at the counter I'm about to miss my flight and in turn missing connecting flights all the way to Europe. His answer, "guess you will have to miss your flights then". After I stared at him in disbelief, he stated "you can ask each and every passenger if you can go infront of them in line". What?! My flight was the first one to leave that AM! Well needless to say, we missed the flight. After fighting with AA all day on the phone, they put us on a flight that evening, 2 Uber bills later, here we go. By the way, totally missing my brother's wedding! Back at the airport, Richard is still working. I told the lady who checked us in what happened, Richard starts yelling at me saying I'm lying. Unbelievable!!!! Yelling right infront of everyone! read more

One star is too many. Supposed to leave for Kona through PHX. Got to airport for first flight that was supposed to leave at 8 only to be told at 630 there were issues and it was delayed until noon which would cause us to miss our connection in PHX. No customer service or empathy. Just told that's the best they can do and there aren't any alternatives. Our flight to PHX has been pushed back to 4, then 8, and we are now looking at 9. At best we will make it to HI tomorrow. Thanks American for screwing up our once in a lifetime family vacation. Never again. read more

Sitting here at the airport waiting for another late American Airlines flight. Not a single time can i remember American Airlines ever being on time. Never. Without hesitation i would choose any airline other than American Airlines. It is absolutely the worst airline ever.

American Airlines customer service is horrible to work with! My family booked flights and partially paid for the flights using airline credits we had due to a cancellation caused by the COVID pandemic. We were told we could make any changes for free within the next 48 hours. Just a few hours later I noticed a better and cheaper flight had just come available with enough seats now showing. I called the customer service number again and they helped me switch everything to the new flight. They told me that my account would be credited for the difference. Never once did he mention that I would receive MORE airline credits instead of a credit to my card that was used. This is a HORRIBLE way to do business. I have made multiple calls, sat on hold for hours only to be told to submit everything in an email so that someone could call me. If this airline cared anything about its customers and having repeat business, they would issue any refunds or changes in fees to the credit card first and then issue airline credits for any amount over what was charged to the card. I will never fly AA again if this is not resolved how it should be. read more
