⚠️ 𝗔𝗠𝗘𝗥𝗜𝗖𝗔𝗡 #𝗔𝗜𝗥𝗟𝗜𝗡𝗘𝗦 𝗪𝗔𝗥𝗡𝗜𝗡𝗚 & AMERICAN EAGLE ENVOY (their smaller planes) ⚠️ 𝙎𝙃𝘼𝙍𝙀 𝙏𝙃𝙄𝙎 𝙈𝙀𝙎𝙎𝘼𝙂𝙀‼️ IF YOU ARE TAKING AN #AMERICANAIRLINES #FLIGHT, LEARN WHAT HAPPENED TO US, AND TAKE AS A WARNING!! Read below to understand what happened to us 👇👇 📖 𝚃𝙷𝙴 𝚂𝙴𝚁𝙸𝙴𝚂 𝙾𝙵 𝙴𝚅𝙴𝙽𝚃𝚂: > We booked our flight 2 months in advance to fly FROM #MIAMI TO #ANGUILLA , CHOSE OUR SEATS, and got two confirmations with our seat numbers... > Fast forward to 24 HRS before our flight, we go to check in on the @American Airlines app, Nate has a seat (different from what we chose, mind you) & no seat under my name, along with no ability to even choose a seat because it was all 'greyed' out... > I immediately call the customer service to see why I don't have a seat nor why I could choose a seat 🧐. They said they could NOT give me the seat unless I paid for an 'upgrade' , and if I wanted to sit by Nate, they would have to 'unseat' him & then we would BOTH have to pay the 'upgrade' fee 🤬... AND there was a possibility that we could LOSE our seats ON THE #PLANE if they were to 'unseat' us and get us sitting together‼️ >The representative said the easiest and best way to avoid having to pay the seat upgrade fee & to avoid unseating Nate, is to wait until we were at the airport and get my seat 'confirmed' onsite. ⚠️ IN HINDSIGHT, I should have just paid the fee to 'upgrade' my seat to avoid the incredible amount of anxiety & frustration.... aka pay additional on top of what I already paid for.... but I shouldn't be paying more because of THEIR issues... and so the story continues⚠️ > Fast forward to being onsite, we immediately get to the counter to figure out what is going on & why I don't have a seat. The gal checking us in said this specifically... "You are listed 2nd on STANDBY & I CAN'T assign you a seat until we know the planes weight is properly even & to see if anyone else is WILLING to VOLUNTEER to take a different flight ⚠️ WE DID NOT BOOK STANDBY (fyi), & immediately, this exciting trip, turned sour VERY quickly... and why would only 1 out 4 of us not get a seat when we all booked at the same time?!?!?⚠️ 🤬 QUE THE FRUSTRATION & ANXIETY 🤬 > After going back and fourth, trying to understand why 3 out of 4 of us has seats, and why I was bumped to standby made no sense, she said I needed to check back in 5 minutes BEFORE the flight to see if I can get on the plane... > At this point, we wanted to get clarification if there were enough seats for all passengers, and to confirm there is an 'open' seat for me, and that they didn't OVERBOOK... > The gal proceeded to tell me that this may effect 10 other people & that I am not the only one who will not be able to take that flight, and it's a weight issue now, which has to be evenly distributed ... and I COMPLETELY understand the weight distribution, but was it that or did the plane get overbooked⁉️ > All 4 of us IMMEDIATELY call customer service, and are all put on hold for 35 minutes & never actually spoke with anyone because by the time 35 minutes had rolled around, we were 5 minutes from departure & I was called to the front. > She said the planes weight was evenly distributed & she gave me my seat 🫣🤔 👇 MY FLIGHT SUGGESTION 👇 • When you select your seats, TAKE A SCREENSHOT OF IT & THE CONFIRMATION (use for proof if needed) • CHECK in ASAP (typically 24hrs prior) and confirm you have an actual seat number! • If you DON'T get a seat number, contact customer service ASAP & bite the bullet & PAY the 'upgrade' fee to 'secure' a seat (this is to avoid losing even more money because you can't get to your hotel or potentially having to take a different flight and potentially be held another 24+ hours from your #vacation time) • CALL the customer service AFTER your travels and tell them EXACTLY what happened! 👉 𝙎𝙃𝘼𝙍𝙀 𝙏𝙃𝙄𝙎 𝙈𝙀𝙎𝙎𝘼𝙂𝙀‼️ #fyp #viraltiktok #fypシ #traveltiktok #travel #Airlines #Flying #Adventure #vacay
