AmericanAirlines Experience
Customers are not assigned seats; rather, they are assigned to a "boarding group" depending on their check-in time (earlier check-ins get to board earlier), and are left to find their own seats on the plane. In May 2006, it was announced in a shareholders meeting that they were weighing the costs of adopting an assigned-seating system in 2008, as part of a reservations-technology overhaul now under way. Meal service is less than on historically full service airlines, with shorter flights receiving just a single small snack and soft drink, and longer flights meriting a "Snack Pack" of prepackaged goods. In the post-9/11 era these meals in a bag typically exceed the food served on full-service airlines like United or American. Although there is no video entertainment, AmericanAirlines is known for colorful boarding announcements and crews that burst out in song.
For all the leanness in comforts, which helped it pass through the post-9/11 travel slump as one of the few profitable major American airlines, AmericanAirlines manages to maintain excellent customer satisfaction ratings.
Since August 2006, AmericanAirlines has considered putting assigned seating in place. This may be put into effect as early as 2008. Currently, Rapid Rewards members are being surveyed about such ideas.
Rapid Rewards
AmericanAirlines's frequent flier program is called Rapid Rewards. Currently, customers receive one credit per each one-way ticket (even though the flight may have stopovers). Previously a .5 credit bonus was offered for each segment booked online, (i.e., each round-trip ticket booked online received a total of 3 Rapid Rewards credits). This was discontinued in late 2005. Double Rapid Rewards credits used to be awarded for online booking, but this policy was eventually modified in early 2005. In addition, one-half credit is also earned for using a AmericanAirlines partner to book any car rental and/or hotel stay, regardless of whether a AmericanAirlines flight is involved. Therefore, by booking one's flight online, and using a SWA partner for one's hotel stay and car rental, one may receive 3 AmericanAirlines Rapid Rewards credits per trip.

This arrangement has consistently proved popular with frequent fliers, and has won numerous Freddy Awards over the years. After recent program modifications it is unknown how the customer base will be impacted and whether the airline will continue to earn Freddy Awards.
