Worst Airline I Have Ever Dealt With. Customer Service Is Awful.i Will Never Use Them Again. Been Trying For 3 Days To Speak With A Live Person In Any Capacity And Im Always Waiting On The Phone Waiting And Waiting And Waiting, And This Includes Just Trying To Reach Reservations. They Ask You To Wait And They Will Call You Back , ....never Happens ...i Hope They Go Out Of Business.!!!!!! Real Soon...thats What They Deserve.

I was charged double for my seats. my husband payed for an upgrade and when I went to check in on line I noticed we had different seat along with different aisle. so I payed for an upgrade not knowing he had payed. it was a difficult time and we where trying to get out of town to see my mother in law that was barely holding on before she past away. I tried calling and explaining but there was no compaction. I did receive a call from someone but it seems as to what they had said on the phone is not what they email me back. so frustrated with american airlines.
