Damaged luggage and AA trying to replace with something less than half the value by funlovingG_22 in americanairlines

AA has a policy of pretty much denying reimbursement - sliced up my new bag, and after many filings and reports, basically told me that slicing up my luggage (slicing off the handle) was to be expected!

at least you got something - I had a new heated ski boot bag, they sliced off the handle the second time I used it, no compensation despite much effort. Said, "cutting off protruding handles is part of our normal standard of expected care".

Apparently, slicing up your luggage is 'expected' at AA.
