American Airlines flight 2350 from Dallas – Fort Worth to Mexico City was delayed more than 5 hours on Friday. First, passengers had to wait on a replacement aircraft reportedly due to a “leak” and then passengers boarded another Boeing 737-800 only to have water flow out into the aisles from a lavatory. They needed another plane – or a boat.
Flying from Dallas to Mexico City on @AmericanAir 2350. First flight cancelled due to a “leak”. Got on another plane and had to get off again due to a water pipe bursting. Waiting to figure out what happens next. Unbelievable.#AirTravel #travelnightmare #airlineissues pic.twitter.com/SFMsf6u6dJ

@AmericanAir @americanair6682 5 hour delay leaving Grand Rapids this morning on flight 1561, then later on we board in Dallas on flight 2350 to go to Mexico City and they announce there is a problem with the plane and we have to get off. What is going on with your #Airline!

Several months ago passengers aboard an American Airlines flight from Dallas to Minneapolis were flooded out by a water leak from the rear lavatory. Video from inside the Boeing 737-800 cabin showed water streaming down the aisle.
Meanwhile, an American Airlines flight from Delhi became a biohazard as a lavatory sink overflowed with human waste. The airline kept flying this way for “10+ hours” of the 17-hour flight after “4 lavatories flooded with sewage.”
This doesn’t only happen to American: an Alaska Airlines flight flooded with four inches of lavatory water and United offered 5,000 miles of compensation after a lavatory flood ruined a passenger’s laptop.
Speaking of Montezuma’s revenge… @Jack the Lad, do not drink!
To the drama queens complaining on X, the toilets on the airplane are vacuum style. There is no sewage seeping in the aisle. Probably potable water leak from the sink.
@Coffee Please — Probably no longer ‘potable’ once it’s on the floor… one more time, @Jack the Ladd (two “d’s” this time), I recall you’ve got a strong Balinese stomach, but please, sir, don’t drink this!
Gotta wonder about maintenance overall like the really important parts.
2 flights in a row with wet floor emergencies?! Looks like American Airlines needs a name change to “Gulf of American American Airlines”!
I’d call them Lumpenproletariat’s Finest Airline
Sounds like maintenance isn’t being done domestically.
That unfortunate AA ex-DEL inci is ironic, considering 12.5 % of India still does not have indoor plumbing …. Maybe that can be AA’s next charitable endeavor to donate $$$ to improve their sanitation as they re-nvest in their own lavs ! Make it a part of their ‘Forever Forward’ “MOVEMENT” !!
…lol
