~Volunteer's review of American Airlines customer service
GetHuman: So how would you sum up your experience for GetHuman's American Airlines customer community? We'll censor any IDs, numbers, or codes and any inappropriate words here out of respect to the millions of other customers using this resource.
~Volunteer: The person I spoke to was unhelpful and slightly rude. I asked about a possible baggage fee waiver for Peace Corps volunteers (which is offered by some airlines) and I was told that they did not waive the fees "just because you're with the Peace Corps," and not in a pleasant tone. I would've preferred to hear the bad news in a much friendlier manner.
GetHuman: Let's quantify your experience contacting American Airlines. On a scale of 1 to 5, how easy is it go get help on a American Airlines problem?
~Volunteer: I'd give them a two out of five for ease of finding your way to help.
GetHuman: What about quality of communication. How would you rate that on a 1 to 5 scale?
~Volunteer: I'd give them a one out of five on communication.
GetHuman: And what about American Airlines's ability to quickly and effectively address your problem?
~Volunteer: For that I would say two out of five.
GetHuman: And finally- any advice for other American Airlines customers?
~Volunteer: Call them early in the day or late. Don't forget any personal or account information you might need for American Airlines to know who you are.
GetHuman: Well there you have it. Some useful feedback and words from ~Volunteer taken from his American Airlines customer service problem that occurred on November 8th, 2017.
