I was delayed 3 times til after 1am. When I arrived there was no assistance for handicapped. I was on my own. It took time to manage to get to baggage and retain my suitcases. I'm not happy with the pain it caused.

No reason given

It was by phone, and they claimed no compensation would be given because we accepted the new flight. We actually did not, and had to rebook because they wanted me to sit in the airport for 24 hours waiting for the next flight. There were no hotels available near the airport. So, I had to pay to change my flight.

Terrible lost luggage policy and management

American Airlines lost 2 checked bags. The process and paperwork required on initial complaint and at 5 days is excessive, especially when they told me where my bags went! just retrieve them, rather than may me spend hours itemizing 2 bags worth of "stuff". Required multiple submissions with each one thanking me for being an Advantage card member. Each email followed with a warning to complete within 30 days. Requiring receipts that are impossible to locate with a $100 cap. Absurd since one of my lost bags is golf clubs. Thankfully one of my bags was found after 2 weeks, but now at 35 days and no reply from central baggage claim about what we are going to do about my lost clubs. The entire experience has me feeling like it is my fault they lost my luggage, which is ridiculous knowing what they charge to check a bag.

1) I contacted them using their Help form (as directed by their website). I entered in my correct flight data and told them something similar to this: "I arrived at the gate for my connecting flight at LHR (AA135) while the gate was open, but was informed that my seat had already been reassigned and I was not permitted to board. I was fully present, on time, and ready to fly. This involuntary bump caused a significant delay to my arrival at my final destination, resulting in additional costs and disruption that could have been avoided. Since I met all required check-in and boarding deadlines and British Airways reallocated my confirmed seat, this qualifies as an involuntary denied boarding under EU261/UK261 regulations." 1b) They responded with the message in screenshot "Screenshot 2026-01-19 at 6.52.11β€―PM.png". They stated the wrong flights despite me entering the correct ones and then they closed my case 2) They did not have a method to respond to them so I tried submitting a new claim which they rejected as a duplicate (even though the other claim was already closed). I tried writing them directly (per their instructions) but they never responded to either of them. See screenshot: Screenshot 2026-01-19 at 6.52.31β€―PM.png" 3) I contacted you a while later. To answer the questions: A) I arrive a day later to my destination (almost 24 hours later) B) When I arrived at the gate they told me the seats were already given to other passengers. The gate was still open (and said it on the signage). They told me to go to the BA desk to get another flight. They put me on another flight the next day and I eventually got a hotel voucher C) Airline gave a hotel and meal voucher D) I was inconvenienced by losing a day at home. I also missed a significant family event due to the delay. I didnt lose money

Flight Delay, Cancellation, and Overnight Airport Stay

I am writing to formally complain about my recent travel experience with your airline. My flight was originally scheduled to depart at 19:30; however, it was delayed three times and ultimately cancelled without adequate resolution on the same day. As a result of the cancellation, I was rebooked on a flight the following day. This left me stranded at the airport overnight, where I was required to sleep in the terminal without proper accommodation, food, or assistance. This experience caused significant discomfort, stress, and inconvenience. I believe this situation reflects a failure in passenger care, particularly given the lack of basic support following the cancellation. I respectfully request a review of this matter and appropriate compensation in line with your airline’s policy and applicable passenger rights regulations. I look forward to your prompt response and a fair resolution.

Overall

  • close The flight delayed 3 times. At the end it cancelled. I have to sleep at airport entire night with just 2 bags of chips.

Problems at airport

My flight was delayed at the gate while landing in LHR, delaying disembarkation. This was caused, as announced by pilot, a vehicle being improperly parked at our gate. The delay caused me to miss my connection. I was not allowed through security, despite being at the terminal 3 security prior to final boarding time as indicated on boarding pass (still had 15 minutes to spare). This is not extreme circumstances - all that was needed to disembark and catch next flight was airport/airline to correct the improperly parked vehicle. This took about 30 minutes to correct, ultimately leading to not being allowed through security. I was directed to help desk, where I was notified that the earliest I could arrive in STL was the following day. I also asked about option to fly to Indianapolis. I chose the Indianapolis re-route the following day, as it was earlier than STL flight available, and met my travel needs. Airline provided transportation to hotel, 1 night in hotel, and dinner + breakfast in the hotel. I did not lose any money as result of the flight. I reached out to the airline for compensation as highlighted in the regulation. They refused, flip flopping reasons. Initially, it was due to not meeting minimum connection time requirement. Then they stated it was due to ATC delay (which is incorrect and did not occur on BSL to LHR segment) and then back to not meeting minimum connection time. I asked for the minimum connection time requirement, and they did not provide it. I also do not see anything in regulation about minimum connection time. BA ticketed and sold the itinerary, but is trying to shift blame to Chase for allowing the purchase of the ticket. The original connection time was 1 hr 25 minutes.

The seats were hard with very little cushion and nearby surfaces were worn, dirty, and clearly not maintained to an acceptable level

I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding the unacceptable condition of the First-Class seats and surrounding area during my recent flight. My wife and I were seated in Group FC – Seat 3D and 3F on Flight AA4337 from Sarasota, FL to Philadelphia, PA on December 8, 2025. The condition of the seats and cabin were well below the standards promised for a First-Class experience. The seats were hard with very little cushion and nearby surfaces were worn, dirty, and clearly not maintained to an acceptable level. This created an unpleasant and disappointing experience that did not align with the premium service I paid for. I have photographic evidence documenting these issues and can provide it upon request. Given the severity of the condition and the impact on our travel experience, I expect appropriate compensation. I am requesting either: β€’ A reimbursement of AAdvantage miles, or β€’ A complimentary ticket for a future flight, As a fair resolution for the poor conditions, we were subjected to. I have been a loyal customer of American Airlines, and I expect better from your First-Class product. I trust that this matter will be addressed promptly and that appropriate action will be taken to ensure this does not happen again.

Claim escalated to airline

Technical problems

On December 6, 2025 AA flight3905 was delayed e hours due to maintenance. That resulted in missing our connecting flight AA 3420 from Miami to Anguilla. AA could not rebook us on another flight that day (12/06). AA agents told us that the first available flight is on Monday morning 12/08. AA agents advised to rebook us on a St. Martin flight from Miami on the following day 12/07. We had to spend one night in Miami and that cost more than $600 for a hotel, plus food and beverage. AA did not offer any hotel or food vouchers and told us to communicate with AA customer relations. Meanwhile, not only that we lost one night of our one-week hotel reservation in Anguilla (from December 06-13), but I had to pay for an additional night (more than $400) to make up for that lost night on December 6th. That's not a good start of a vacation!!! I also need to mention that one of our three checked bags did not make St. Martin flight AA 3126 from Miami on 12/07/2025. We had to wait 24 hrs., before we went back to Anguilla airport to retrieve it. I strongly believe that an appropriate compensation for the significant inconvenience, stressful time, suffer and pain caused by a 3-hour maintenance delay on AA flight # 3420, which in turn caused us missing our connecting flight AA3905 from Miami to Anguilla on December 6, 2025. If American Airline is sincere in retaining their customers, appropriate compensation/reimbursements are due and fair.

3 hours turned into 7, my day was completely set in Disarray!

The flight was supposed to leave at 6:02 am. At 5:30 when it was time to board no one explained why they turned off the boarding shortly sign. There was no plane at the gate. They did not bring a plan until after 6:30. We did not take off at 6:51 am as my screen shot states. The time stamps in the corner shows at 7:57 am we were still on the tarmac, NOT waiting to take off but still being sprayed with chemicals because other planes ahead of us were having issues with the weather. We did NOT take off until 8:26 am. I sent an email to American Airlines at 8:23 am and we took off 3 minutes later. By that time I had already been sitting in the plane for over an hour and a half waiting to be in the air, when the flight status i put with this claimed we were already flying. We did not arrive to our gate in Dallas until 11 am because of issues with the gate at the airport. So my 3 hour travel time turned into almost 7 hours of travel. We were not offered anything while waiting on the tarmac, we were told it shouldn't take long and it did. My problem is I had clients that I needed to get to and because of these delays I had to move my schedule around. So I am asking for compensation for this disruption in what should have been an easy flight.

Terrible customer service!!

I had a flight scheduled for 12-7-25 flying from SMF to PHL with a connection at DFW. I had to actually fly to DFW on 12-3-25 for work so i booked a one way ticket through you to get their and i figured i would just catch my connection on 12-7-25 from my already book flight. So i called American and told them that i would not be on the fist leg of my flight and that i wanted to catch the original planned flight in DFW. They told me if i didnt get on the first flight they would cancel my whole reservation! So i asked them to cancel my first flight and just have me flying out of DFW to PHL! So that's what they did and charged me 250.00 for not taking my first flight how does that make any since at all.... I them emailed customer service and they obviously didn't read my email and gave me the most generic response that i just didn't like or expect it was crazy.... the reference AA#1-39592619266 you might want to read to see for yourself they could not of read my email to respond like they did....

Successful claim

I immediately rebooked this flight when we were notified our direct flight to Chicago was canceled, as did about 6 other people. I spoke with the Iberia service desk within minutes of making the reservation, and they told me to call to have that fligiht paid for. When I called Iberia, they refused to reimburse me and told me to talk to the AA Service Counter because it was an AA flight, even though I had booked it on the Iberia site. When we arrived at the AA service desk to check in, the attendant refused to check us in stating that our bags could not be re-routed, as we would have to pick them up and re-check them in. Hours later by calling Iberia, we were rebooked on a flight with a layover at JFK, not returning until Friday, Nov 14 in the evening. As a result we had to cancel all of our appointments and work on Friday. We both lost income. The airline has not been helpful. We were finally given a room around 11:30 pm at the JFK airport. We are also missing one of our bags and had to take all of our bags to the hotel as AA was closed. One of the wheels on one suitcase is also now broken, so it made transporting it very difficult. Nobody was helping anyone with questions or problems at the baggage claim or giving instructions. We had no idea that our bags were not being sent on to ORD and that we had to pick them up and recheck them. By the time we got to our hotel at midnight, the dining room was closed, so no dinner, just snack food from the hotel store.

Terrible customer service regarding lost baggage

Yes multiple delays as a passenger. However the bag was the issue. It took multiple unnecessary trip, from Dallas to Austin for no reason. The bag has been missing for over 24 hours now. Had many conversations with staff, in person and on the phone about where it was and how to get it. And none of it happened. The staff has just been telling us what they thought we wanted to hear but known of what they said happened. There are medical supplies in the bag that are needed and the staff doesnt seem to care about that either. Each staff member said either the bag would be on the next flight or couriered to the hotel and we would get notifications every time it was scanned. Which also didnt happen. You would think paying for a bag to arrive at the same location wouldn't be that difficult. But that clearly is not a concern of the staff. American airlines does not seem to care if passengers reciev bags in a timely matter or not.

Overall

  • close Horrible customer service. Each agent that was asked about the baggage location, made up some bullshit answer of ehat would happen. Everything from it will be in on the next flight to we will courier it too ur location. None of those happened. We were to

Problems at airport

I had a flight with american airlines from FLL to LGA for Sunday Nov 9 2025. It was cancelled and rescheduled for Monday Nov 10 2025 with a stop in Chicago. I had to go back to work Monday. The airline said they had no available flights to anywhere near any Nj area for Nov 9. I rebooked with another airline - jetblue airlines for a flight to North carolina. I had to drive from north carolina to NJ. I cancelled my flight with american airlines.

Problems at airport

We were delayed in Milan going to London and had a connection flight to CLT but when we arrived to London they told us we didn't have enough time to run to our gate and a bunch of flights were being canceled so the line was so so long. We didnt have anyways to get in another flight. We weren't automatically booked on another flight. We had to run to multiple counter to talk to American Airlines and British airways..they kept pushing us back and forth. We were suppose to fly on Friday 10/18/2024. They had us booked for Monday 10/21..they gave us a hotel voucher, and we rode the bus to hotel and they served us some food, we ended up going to airport next day to try and get on stand by., because we have to get back home to our kids. We ended up leaving 10/19/24 Saturday...1 by 1 separately because thats all they had. I send British airways a claim, they said they'll look into it to and it's taking longer but never gave us a answer. I check the claim, they closed the case.

No reason given

I called the airline on Friday, October 24, after my husband received an email informing us that our original flight had been changed from Sunday, October 26 to Monday, October 27 and was told we must submit an online claim. Not only was it inconvenient that our flight changed to the next day, but we lost money through our Airbnb and car rental since we couldn’t cancel it.
