TimeforBlogging: CNN & MSNBC Want to Know about My American Airlines Horror Story

  • Dan · 1 year ago
    Did AA ever refund/rebate you for this?
  • ally · 1 year ago
    Wow - I can't believe American Airlines were so rotten to you! That's completely unacceptable. Great idea going to the press about it - I would've done the same thing.

    It really sucks that you had to lose so much money to get things straightened out - I hope you're refunded properly and that you never have to experience anything like that again.

    That was a frustrating experience to happen to you! I can't believe that they told you after all that, that they reinstated the flight. Could you have switched to the flight and then gotten your money back from the other airline? It shouldn't have happened in the first place, but I'm glad that the press got a hold of you. Hopefully, this will not happen again to anyone.

    Hopefully, you going to the press, will prevent things like this from ever happening again.

    I've always wondered, do you actually get paid when big news company uses you as their sources like that? cos they using your experiences and sell it to the masses, right?

    Only 68 comments so far?! I assume that everyone has at least 1 horror story to share about those airlines. They put customer service in the back seat and now they are always close to bankrupt. Take a page out of the foreign airline's policies. They are doing fine.

    Good Informative post
    Stumbled you cheers!
    Will Keep in touch with you :)

    It sure is a bummer when companies don't care about the customers and only want to pad the bottom line. I hope that this all gets fixed and that you aren't left with a loss because of the airlines that screwed up. That is just utterly ridiculous.

    I love when these companies are exposed for their bad behavior.
  • ineedtoberich · 1 year ago
    The problem with airlines is they don't care about the passengers. It's like herding cattle to them.
  • Scott Knauer · 1 year ago
    They're talking about jacking up prices now, because they are taking out a row of seats, amd making more room, larger seating platforms for more space.., but at the same time they're talking about not playing movies, or giving out headphones to use (you have to bring your own), and eliminating food and drinks, except for internation trips only.. I can understand how fuel prices are effecting the Airline industry, but come one.
  • CB Radios · 1 year ago
    I also wonder if this is somehow related to 9/11, if the airlines are all going bankrupt? I know many still fear flying, because of this.

    Sounds awesome. I would be thrilled to be mentioned by either!

    Well looks like you are going to be famous soon, I'm sure you haven't heard the end of it. Maybe Christopher will get back to you, or maybe someone else will contact you from the news people. I think you should keep repeating the story here on your blog so they know how bad American airlines is.
  • Sara · 1 year ago
    I have had so many disappointing experiences with American I refuse to fly them anymore.
  • Arvin · 1 year ago
    good article and inspiring too, thanks
  • PR Storm · 1 year ago
    I had a similar thing happen to me in the UK with a UK based company where I blogged about them. Next thing I know I have the BBC contacting me asking questions then the large company wanted a chat to see if they could remedy it. I know in future if a company ever pisses me off Im heading straight for my blog.
  • Printer Ink · 1 year ago
    thats good for you,you got attention of famous news channels.mostly the American airlines authorities would refund your money & see to that no other passenger undergoes such things.
  • Papa Big Mac · 1 year ago
    I wonder how many people this happened to. At least someone's getting some media attention from this, way to go!
  • bj penn · 1 year ago

  • Gellert · 1 year ago

  • Wu-Yi · 1 year ago
    Well, glad to see you went to the press with this. Show them that you can't be pushed around!

    Cool man, it means they are atleast linstening your voice. So what you thinking to do now?
  • Matt · 1 year ago
    That's good news dude, it seems that is the way of the world at the moment. In the UK this week, the third biggest holiday package airline went bust and left thousands of people stranded in their resorts. With the banks closing all over, the financial squeeze will be felt for a long time to come.

    It was an improper treatment on the part of the airliner committed against you. I guess its better to lodge a compensation case against AA.
  • Lilla · 11 months ago
    Are consumers entitled to a compensation for such ill treatment by the airlines?
  • Haba · 10 months ago
    With Lufthansa i have only good experiences. I only fly by lufthansa or star alliance.
  • Kendal · 10 months ago
    Everybody will have travel plans as such in their free time as it could be out of the countries even. Thanks for sharing the news in the CNN that has telecast previously.
