Airlines are really starting to cut flights to consolidate. Had a trip on AA to St Johns for Saturday- Friday. Great connections. AA did their thing and now have overnight layovers in Miami there and back ! Apparently cut lots of them many just days out from departures.

Your first issue is you chose AA


ETA: I can’t see how they aren’t bankrupt at this point. Consistently ranked dead last for US carriers, even behind the likes of Spirit.

First your flight was MIA to STT right? No flights to St. John. Second, it's St. John. No S. They get pissed if you call it St. Johns which is a university.

I flew 3 weeks ago and this happened to me for my return flight home. Changed my flight from 1pm to 5am. American Airlines offered me a refund if the new flight wouldn't work, so I took advantage of that and scheduled a flight home with United at a better time.

Where are you staying in Antigua? Did my honeymoon 5 years ago at Cocobay Resort and we’ve been itching to get back ever since we left.

Southwest changed my flights last night. Both of my nonstop flights to and from Orlando have stops.

With that said, Jet Blue was very accomodating refunding the flight we canceled earlier this summer.

It may have been before my time, but I don’t remember when they offered a pleasant flying experience.

The last time I flew with them was ten years ago. It was an international trip, Philadelphia to Paris, and the stewardess were so visibly unhappy.

I felt like they carried a lifetime of pain and disappointment. And they looked like it too.

When meal service came, they went down the row, barking out the options.

I haven’t flown with them since.

Surprisingly they've gotten better (couldn't get worse!) over the last few years.

Much better in-flight entertainment options, meal choices and amazingly enough--some pretty nice flight attendants, gate agents and phone support.

It was a welcome change as being based in Fort Worth, my hands were rather tied.

Wait ... what? In the last few years, AA has pulled TV screens out of hundreds of planes to save money.

I just had SW change my flights to Las Vegas. Problem was the return flight did not exist in their system. How's that happen? Not the time or the flight number.

I’d be nervous booking anything that was not direct these days. Especially if it was through AA. I’d be hoping to just land the same day as scheduled if taking AA

I should have qualified my perspective.

I don't use any of the in-flight entertainment options as I'm usually working. However, to my untrained eye, it appears to have improved.

Also keep in mind that I'm also factoring in the exit of the MD80 and the addition of the 737 and A321.

The service has definitely improved, IMO. Again, there was no where to go but up, but I'll take it.

This happened to me recently on a domestic southwest flight I had scheduled for Labor Day. Kinda ruined the trip as it was just a long weekend to begin with. Basically last 2 days due to their schedule changes.

I’m probably canceling with them.

AA moved my flight times to Vegas up 2 hours which I was thankful for. My flight back to MSY got moved back 3 hours from 7:30 to 10:30, which I am also thankful for.

Have been a fan of the rescheduling lately.
