Ratings and reviews

Progressively keeps getting worse! I have literally been trying to purchase a ticket to Costa Rica for about 2 weeks. I have purchased many times because I'm a member and used PayPal it would not complete the order it would just stay on a blank page. So then I decided just to use my American Airlines credit card placed it on hold and now it won't complete the purchase. This has been the most time consuming irritating experience I've ever had with any airlines. The app is absolute trash! Trashh!

Please make a filter to remove basic economy tickets from searches! I'm never going to buy one and it makes it hard to compare prices and times when none of the prices are right because they are all for basic economy tickets and not normal ones. The rest of the app is great. But that one flaw is a big one!

Poor app for the traveler Apps for airlines should be simple and straightforward. This app fails at most tasks. Trying to confirm a passport with camera scan often doesn't work. Trying to add checked bags for a trip results in having to start all over, only to fail again. I ended up having to go online via my laptop to accomplish the task. On more than one occasion gate information was wrong.
