Unfortunately I've had nine flights with American airlines in the last three years and a flight has been delayed each time. I have limited vacation time and every hour is important to me, but not to American.
One flight was delayed multiple times until around 11 pm and American had me stay in a dirty hotel that was a 30 plus minute ride from the airport. Had to get up around 4 am to leave for the airport.
Missed a good chunk of my vacation due to their incompetence. I reached out to customer relations and I requested a partial refund and they provided the equivalent of about $20 in frequent flier miles. Wow, how professional. I should get at least half of my money back.
I will never fly with this disorganized airline and you shouldn't ether. When they can't make it anywhere on time, I wonder about the rest of the company- are the planes even safe? Stay away!
