American Airlines

OK so let me start by being up front here in the fact it is quite some years since I flew with American Airlines but I still remember the experience with them and I wanted to share what I had gone through with them. I was flying over to see my family for the second time who stay in Mississippi and was flying out from Glasgow so I already knew what to expect through my dealings with Northwest Airlines...or so I thought. The start of the experience was all pleasant enough with helpful check in staff and a simple process for checking in causing me no real delays and I was handed my ticket with my seat number shown. I headed through to the boarding gate on time and ...  Read the complete review

A few months back, the wife booked us a trip to New York, flying with American Airlines. Never flown with them before and no idea if they were any good, I checked Dooyoo for reviews of them. It was not good reading. I never found a good one about them and was so worried about flying with them, that we tried to change companies to BA, but would have lost a fair amount of money. So, with great trepidation, we made our to Terminal 3 of Heathrow to begin our adventure with American Airlines. On first impressions, with check in, it was pretty good. Asked the usual questions, there was no queue and we were all checked in in 5 minutes. Then came the ...  Read the complete review

We used American Airlines for a recent shot break to New York flying out of Heathrow. I have to say that I expected better from a flagship airline that carries the national flag of a country where customer service within most companies is very improtant, certainly American Airlines ranks rather poorly when compared with both of the UK carriers Virgin and British Airways. Check in was fine and pretty efficient, the same cannot be said about the security checks on either side of the Atlantic but that is not really the fault of American Airlines. We had an aisle seat and the one next to it on the centre row of seats, the plane itself looked a bit shabby in cattle ...  Read the complete review

We flew man-heathrow-boston and then back again in May Well, the good points are that we got there and they even managed to bring us back!!! Turbulence free flights both ways......yay Other plus points...I got the window seat and they serve full sized cans of pop. Not so good points Inflight entertainment: non of that seat back tv malarky for us, just a big screen at the front and a few above the aisles...couldn't see ours very well and the headphones didn't work, replaced the headset eventually though. Movies were Marley and me, great film but I had seen it before and knew how sad it is so couldn't watch it (not too ...  Read the complete review

I went to Los Angeles last year from Manchester via Chicago. Lets just say the only positives are it is cheap and you can sit down on a seat (rather than standing lol). Check in sad they were experiencing delays so we had a 2 hours wait. When we eventually boarded the plane i was shocked at how little leg room there was, no tv and very rude staff. After having to cope with an 8hour flight of looking at the seat in front of me we arrived at Chicago. To cap off the day my luggage was stuck in Manchester, they for some reason decided not to put it on the flight. (This is economy btw) After catching the connecting flight and arriving i was feeling upbeat - i ...  Read the complete review
