On September 5, 2024, an incident in Las Vegas prompted a counterterrorism response when a hotel guest reportedly crafted a flamethrower using bongs, butane, and meth pipes. "While speaking with officers, Hamilton, who was covered in a black oily substance, reportedly said he was running from two people in the stairwell," according to Las Vegas Locally.

Travelers renting cars in Mexico should be aware of an extra fee that is not disclosed during booking. One traveler recounted being stopped at a police checkpoint where officers demanded their rental agreement and alleged alcohol consumption without performing any sobriety tests. The situation was resolved by paying $200 USD plus 500 pesos to avoid jail time and additional fines.

American Airlines faced criticism for its economy buy-on-board product. According to One Mile at a Time, the airline's management does not prioritize delivering high-quality experiences. This approach stems from America West's decision to shift from complimentary meals to buy-on-board options under previous management.

American Airlines responded to complaints via Twitter: "Our apologies for the situation; when you have a moment, kindly join us in DM with your trip confirmation code and more details about this."
