American Airlines?

[Claire]

Anyone ever flown with them? Any feedback would be great. Also wondered if it was worth mentioning to them that we were traveling with an Autistic child. Would it make any difference them knowing?

i flew to new york with them in 2006. The seats in economy were bigger and seemed more comfortable. Alcoholic drinks were extra, food was normal airline standard but you go quite reasonable portions.

I would be intrested to know as well, we fly to New York in November with them.
Are you aware you have to pay for your luggage. We are lucky as we booked before they made the changes.

No! How? When? Where? How much? We've not been told this!

We flew from Boston to Manchester UK, everything went fine, and they do have more leg room

mainecoon lover, Just checked the terms of the baggage charge and it appears it only applies to domestic flights not flights that originate from outside the US.

Thats good news, i heard it on another forum.

Yep I was worried about that - but if your travel originated internationally you don't have to pay!

Phew!

American Airlines, whose parent AMR Corp. is based in
Fort Worth, Texas, charges for checked bags and offers $3 snack
options and $5 hot meals on longer flights.
Just an FYI

AA are one of the better ones in my opinion! I would definitely let them know about the autism, I bet they'll go out of their way to make sure you have a great flight
