The flight from Boston to Indianapolis with my partner was not bad, but come back was just miserable all around. I have had several bad experiences with American Airlines on both domestic and international flights in the past; old, dirty planes, lack of any inflight entertainment (other than old drop down ancient TVs from what-appears-to-be from the 1960s), inadequate leg room, etc. But the last few times I have flown with them, it was not too bad and the planes were better; cleaner, etc. but I had one of those experiences again! It was like going back to 2011, 2012 with American! Not only was the plane my partner and I flew this time around; both on the flight to and from, old and decrepit (relatively clean, but extremely dated), there was hardly any legroom whatsoever. This journey was made even more miserable because one of the flight attendants in the back of the plane was rude and dismissive when I had to get up and use the restroom. She told me to "sit down because of turbulence". There was no turbulence at that point. It got to the point where I waved up to another flight attendant at the front of the plane if I could use the restroom up there and he was very friendly and understanding and said I could "but to make it quick before the turbulence" and sure enough I was able to do so (it was also an emergency). He was so nice, and I was able to sit back down before the turbulence (which got pretty bad at one point), but the other female flight crew member denying me access to the restroom when there was not any turbulence at one point was rude and unprofessional. I will do everything in my will power to avoid American Airlines at all costs going forward.
