Saturday evenings, AA loads schedules and runs batch processes. This means some scheduled flights might go missing, or your account may show all zeroes, sometimes well into Sunday. It will all come back.

If the website doesn't work try the app, or vice versa.

You’re very kind & gracious and undoubtedly correct.

Regardless, I prefer to think the lightbulb finally turned on, I found another brick (to get to a full load), I found the 52nd card (so I could play with a full deck) and/or I found the 1 can (short of a 6-pack) .

can't book award sys flight online or using app

damn, can't edit the title. 'sys' is a typo.

trying to book a one-way domestic US award flight next month and unable to get anything to book, keep getting an error message. system shows flights available, then generates an error message when clicking through to actually book it. tried again on the app, comes back with the 'something went wrong' message.

anyone else having issues?

with the weather across the country i don't want to call them, but the flight i want is currently available at the price i'm willing to pay.

The website/app are starting to buckle under the strain, it seems. Luckily things seem fine on the airport agent side of things (I was able to get a BP printed at lounge just fine).

I've noticed it not displaying domestic First seat maps (showing as 100% blocked) when going through the "Flight status" view, but when going through the booking view > Seats, it shows the correct seat map.

That's where I'm seeing it. Looking into it more, it seems to be aircraft specific. I can see the PE seats on the 77W & 78P, but not the rest of the PE-equipped aircraft. Just says Premium Economy (sometimes with the lav and galley symbols depending on aircraft config) between the last J row and Main Cabin, but no actual seats displayed.

AA website problems

Trying to book a trip and want to use trip credits (just cancelled a trip). Is the website not working? Keep getting "our system is having trouble. Unable to load activity". There aren't many seats left on the flights I need. Any idea how long the "system trouble" is likely to last? Using a laptop.

Try it in incognito/private browsing mode....sometimes that helps with these website gremlins.

Otherwise you can either wait or try calling.

App and web site not syncing

I've noticed for a bit now that the app and website are not syncing. The app shows my trips and I can make changes but when I sign into the site nada. My trips dont show up automatically or when I put in confirmation info. This is the absolute worse user experience I have had with any website and app for any company. Are others experiencing this too? Am I doing something wrong? Am I making a grave mistake flying AA in a few months?

I've had issues on AA.com for the last few days on Firefox when doing a simple flight search. I get Error code: 431 Request Header Fields Too Large

Works on other browsers. Anyone else have this issue?
