Needed to fly to San Diego for funeral. Flight was scheduled to depart at 10:39. Flight cancelled less than an hour before departure, delayed until 6:00pm. What? Why? Seriously? No bad weather out of San Antonio. So little notice. Like you didn't know if you had enough pilots? Couldn't forecast weather changes? What reason for such a lengthy delay?
This is only the 3rd time we have used American. July 2024, flew brother home to California from San Antonio. His layover in DFW was delayed from 6:00pm until the following morning at 5:00 am. No hotels available. Brother is not experienced at flying so he stayed at the airport ALL NIGHT!!! Our family will certainly not being using American Airlines ever again. I will pay the extra cost and use a different airline moving forward. And we have flown on Delta, United, Hawaiian, Southwest. American just seems to not have their act together EVER!!!! Something definitely needs to change. I can't see my family being the only family that feels this way
