We will be writing a long, detailed letter to corporate about our awful experience with American airlines.

Food was ok, but not as good as I have had before on AA.

Pretty good. The food was just mediocre, the boarding and crew were good.

It was one of my worst flight ever. First they were changing the gate for at least 4 times, changing from gate D7 to D12 to D44. Considering the size of the Miami Airport, we are talking about long distance and the train at the airport was not working. Then the flight was delayed around one hour. Then finally we boarded into the plane and when everybody was seated, there was an announcement that there is an issue with one of the tire of the plane, so we all had to get out of the plane with our belongings, to replace the tire. So we had around 2.5-hour delay

The delays and cancellations kept me stuck in Miami for an additional 24 hours, and the whole thing seemed extremely disorganized

Pitch was very small. Knees were on the seat back in front of me.

Flight was late and missed connecting flight. They could have better accommodated, but instead did an overnight and had to arrive the next afternoon.

The flight was delayed leaving Miami. When we arrived in Charlotte, we were unable to park at our scheduled gate. We had to wait another 30-45 minutes before we could park at a different gate. All in all, we were delayed by almost two hours arriving in Charlotte.

the pilot that landed this flight in Philadelphia did an amazing job, the weather was absolutely terrible and we landed safely.

Cancelled and rebooked twice in one day with a drop in seat class. Not good at all.
