How to Reach American Airlines Customer Service?

Tripadvisor staff removed this post because it did not meet Tripadvisor's forum posting guidelines with prohibiting self-promotional advertising or solicitation.

What are forum guidelines?

Tripadvisor removed your post because they interpreted it as either self-promotion or solicitation, which is one of the rules they enforce across all forums. Even if you were simply asking a question, certain wording can make it look like advertising or attempting to direct people to a business.

Tripadvisor has a clear set of forum guidelines that apply to every post. These guidelines are designed to keep forums useful, non-commercial, and focused on genuine travel advice from travellers — not businesses.

Here are the main categories of Tripadvisor’s forum posting guidelines:

  • No self-promotion or advertising – You cannot post phone numbers, emails, or links promoting a business, nor can you act on behalf of a business. Even asking “How do I reach customer service at X company?” can sometimes trigger removal if it resembles a promotional query.
  • No solicitation – You cannot ask members to contact you privately, nor can you ask for business, referrals, or request that others use a specific service.
  • Stay on travel-related topics – Posts must be about real travel needs and questions, not general consumer help or company support unrelated to travel experiences.
  • No personal attacks or inappropriate content – Posts must remain respectful and follow community standards.
  • No duplicate posts or spam – Posting the same question across multiple forums or repeatedly asking for the same information will be removed.

In many cases, Tripadvisor removes posts when they think the question is not meant for peer-to-peer travel advice, but is instead asking for technical support, customer-service contact details, or help that should be directed to a company’s official website.

If you simply wanted to ask how travelers typically contact American Airlines, you can try posting again but avoid anything that looks like advertising or quoting customer-service numbers. Word your question in a neutral, travel-focused way, such as asking about experiences or tips from other travelers.

In short, your post was removed because Tripadvisor enforces strict anti-advertising and anti-solicitation rules. Staying within their guidelines — asking for travel advice rather than company contact details — will help ensure your future posts remain visible.
