24 Hours On America's WORST Airline

Today I flew 24 hours on America's Worst Airline in order to find out how good or bad they actually were! American Airlines is considered to be one of the most popular, most affordable and worst rated airline in all of America so what is it actually like?? I show you everything from the check in, to the in flight experience and all the interactions with staff so we can truly see how it is like to fly on American Airlines!

I have flown American all my life. I have never had problems. I flew them just a few weeks ago and was impressed. I was in a wheelchair and they were very accommodating. They even changed my seat on the first flight to make it easier on me. Most of your issues on your flights could happen to any airline at anytime. You knew you were taking a chance when you booked your flights so closely together. And you did get a hotel room and a meal voucher. They seemed to be accommodating. Most airlines are having troubles now and after Covid people in general complain about everything. Just saying.

I really appreciate how you are mindful towards other people on the flight and you are quiet so you don’t trouble everyone and if something is like annoying like that guy sitting next to you without permission, you just do a voiceover.❤

I wonder how long it will take for me to get blacklisted from an airline... which should I fly next?

In American's defense, you flew through Chicago on the coldest day of the year (January 15). My guess is that you would have made it out of Chicago and not missed your connection in LA had the weather been normal.

Your politeness despite constant stress is admirable! Kudos to you.

13:58 bro insulted Boeing in any way possible 😂

[YamiPheonix]

13:56. Ouch!!! “I found the safety pamphlet, which is important because this plane is a Boeing”. Such sophisticated savagery for Boeing’s safety and quality problems with their airplanes.

I never comment on videos, but something about this one fueled my fire 😂 just with that first flight, it was on a CRJ200 which has tiny overhead bins that can’t accommodate anyone’s carry-on sized bags. Also booking a 30 minute layover in ORD is insane. Idk, it just seems like some of these issues are more of a result of poor planning, rather than problems on AA’s part. Also that first flight was operated by Air Wisconsin, so it’s also not really fair to put it in an AA video. Idk, just some observations 🤷🏼‍♂️

[CadetClark]

From a passenger inflight experience perspective, I was disappointed to learn that American Airlines would discontinue their Personal (in-seat) TVs for all but their long-haul wide-body aircraft, but AA still has decent service and great pilots and flight attendants!

I think it’s a good thing they checked the fuel tanks and refueling before takeoff. Maybe it was stressful waiting, but they are just ensuring your safety ❤

I will never understand why so many reviewers seem to long for and want airplane food. I always just want a free Coke and a snack. Many years ago airlines used to have cold cut sandwiches with mayo and everything else on the side. That was the good old days for me because when airlines try to get gourmet, they really blow it and get it wrong.

With over 200 flights in my travel history, I always look for cheaper flights and no frills. A snack and Coke is fine to hold me over until I land and get a real meal. I also do think in-flight entertainment is better than using a phone. I never use my phone. I shut it off once I get on the plane. Why do so many people need to be connected all the time?

I wanted to say thank you for your awesome airline reviews. Your videos are super cool! You work really hard to make them great and it really pays off. I love how you show us what it’s like to fly with lots of different airlines everywhere! It’s like going on a bid adventure with you!

From your biggest fan

I enjoyed your video, but you are flying in the middle of winter and there are a lot of delays caused by the weather. I am a Gold level status member on AA and yes, I have been on delayed flights too and missed a few. They did put you up for the night. You should have bought travel insurance. If you have a delay over 4 hours, they pay you back the price of your ticket and any out of pocket expenses. AA is no different then Delta, Air Canada, United, or any other airline. Shit happens. You just have to deal with it. The 787 that you flew on to NZ, they are not a nice as the A350.

Dude idk why people think American airlines is so bad I've flown them lots of times and every time I've flown them I've had a good flight and experience

[bowlingmaster]

Eric, I know why the American Airline’s jet is so loud, it’s because jets can get into very high speeds like 950km, so when it reaches that speed, it will get very loud

[ItsLiamRobloxVids]

I went on an American Airlines 737 over the summer of 2023, and it definately was not bad at all. Especially since I am very tiny, i had a lot of room. Overall, it was a nice experience, i didn't miss any flights, and it was all good. The flight attendants were nice aswell.

[Elijah-dq]

yay new video. Also, in defense of American Airlines, the crj200 that you were on was first meant to be a private jet but then airlines wanted it as a regional jet after it was produced so they had to quickly put seats in it and hand it off to airlines.

[FFEMTB]

You chose tight layover windows… that’s on you.

[Myreky]

I fly American Airlines almost every time. I’m an AAdvantage member. Like 95% of the flights I’ve been on are on time and the planes are fairly clean. Besides the jet, almost every plane had in flight entertainment on the seats, but most planes don’t have it anymore after Covid.

[therealadamplayz]

I flew on American recently and my flight got delayed for 8+ hours. All we got in compensation was a $10 meal voucher. It was barely enough for a coffee.
