American Airlines

You really couldn't invent a story like this. We were flying from DFW to MRY and had already made it about halfway down the jet bridge for pre-boarding since my husband is recovering from surgery. Then the pilot stepped out and told everyone to head back to the gate because the...

I recently flew Miami (MIA) to Milan (MXP) and had the Caviar Wellington meal onboard. Honestly wasn’t sure what to expect going in, but it ended up being a pretty interesting experience overall. The presentation and concept felt more premium than typical long-haul catering, and...

I’m considering booking an OGG–PHL itinerary through American Airlines and using my AAdvantage credit card to get the free checked bag benefit. However, the first segment is operated by Hawaiian Airlines (via Alaska), with a connection in LAX. Since the ticket is booked through...

I’ve never flown before and I just booked my first flight without doing much research, which I now realize may have been a mistake. After reading more online, I am seeing concerns about short connection times and missed flights. I’m worried I might miss my connection. For those...

Does this mean we may actually have functional moving walkways in E terminal?? We poor regional-airport-based inquiring minds would like to know.

I’m trying to figure out whether the 9:11 PM nonstop flight from San Francisco (SFO) to New York JFK offers Flagship First. In the app, most other direct SFO–JFK flights show a “Flagship” label and are operated by A321T aircraft, but this particular flight doesn’t appear to have...

$311 for premium economy upgrade on nonstop Frankfurt to Charlotte. Worth it?

Am I misremembering, or was there previously a pedestrian walkway connecting Terminal A and Terminal B at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW)? About a month ago, I walked down toward gate A8 assuming I could cross over to Terminal B on foot after realizing the SkyLink...

Our departure from SEA to DFW was originally scheduled for 11:53, but it has already been delayed multiple times. At 12:33, we were still on the ground, having been stuck on the tarmac for about 40 minutes. In addition, the lavatories on the aircraft are not functioning, adding...

I’m trying to figure out how baggage fees work on a codeshare booking. If I book an American Airlines-operated flight through Qantas, would I be charged based on Qantas baggage fees or American Airlines baggage fees? I’m specifically looking at adding a second checked bag, and...

I saw an aircraft in the old Piedmont Airlines livery at O’Hare today. It caught my attention because I had honestly forgotten about this airline and its branding.

From what I can see, everything seems normal, so I don’t understand why the American Airlines flight is delayed. This is frustrating, and I’m also stuck with Expedia showing an extremely long wait time for support. Honestly, I’m never flying with this airline again.

I saw some posts about the Asian Vegetarian meal option in first class, so I took a picture and wanted to share what it was like. The meal is described as a spicy vegetarian dish with limited dairy. I personally did not find it very spicy, but it was still enjoyable once...

There’s currently a ground stop at DFW Airport. Hopefully things start moving again within the next hour. Interestingly, there’s no visible rain at the moment, so not sure what’s triggering the delay yet.

I booked an economy award ticket with American Airlines miles from Dallas/Fort Worth to Buenos Aires for early July. Recently, I was able to upgrade the ticket to business class for a relatively low cash price. Earlier checks showed no upgrade offers or very high prices, but...

I came across something during booking that I have never seen before and I am a bit confused. Does this mean I would need to arrange my own transportation from JFK to LGA? All of the flight options I am seeing seem to have a similar setup, and another option also shows EWR to...

I booked a single-ticket itinerary through American Airlines: BGO → HEL → ORD → DFW. When my Bergen to Helsinki flight, operated by Finnair, was disrupted, my entire itinerary fell apart and I couldn't get a clear answer about how I was supposed to get home. Worried about...

I am noticing another round of severe weather impacting operations through the Dallas Fort Worth area. It looks like this is already causing widespread delays, cancellations, and diversions. From what I can see, this disruption is likely to continue through the rest of the night...
