American Airlines

The American Airlines was formed in 1930 by integration of 82 small airlines as American Airways Inc which in 1934 became American Airlines, Inc. American Airlines was the first airline to use the service of the Douglas DC-3 in commercial service. In 1939 it started trading on the New York Stock Exchange. In the year 1944, American Airlines introduced the domestic scheduled United States freight service with the DC-3. With the growth of business some other Douglas freighters were included for its service. With the introduction of the Boeing 707 it became the first airline who offered coast-to-coast jet service.

American Airlines got Caribbean routes in 1970. Expanding those routes throughout the early 70s, it acquired other Caribbean routes.

Summary
American Airlines service was good. Cheap ticket fares. They provide reservation facilities and we can choose the seats as we like. But in the reservation counter people were not so good. They were not polite. While I was booking the ticket I asked her book the ticket for economy class and she booked for business class. I requested her to change the class but she was unable to change and also collected extra fare..
