American Airlines Review

On February 3,2008 I flew American Airlines from Delhi to Chicago. I woke up with about 6 hours left in a 15 hour flight. My reading light did not work, neither did the call button. My seatmate put on his which was ignored by several attendants for more than 10 minutes. Eventually someone came serving tea. She said that she did not have a bulb and could not give me a flashlight by which to read in the darkend cabin. Later she told me I could move to a seat several rows back which had a functioning light. When I sat down there the stench of vomit was overwhelming. I read with my head in the aisle to get as far away from the smell as possible. With about 1 hour left in the flight breakfast was served which was hard to eat under the circumstances. The attendant told me that the women sitting next to me had been sick earlier in the flight. Apparently no one had removed her vomit.  After breakfast she got up and removed the contents of the seat pocket in front of her. The smell immediately improved. At no point did I see any flight attendant inquire of my seatmate how she was feeling or show the slightest concern for her. I myself became ill with gastroenteritis within 72 hours of my flight.
