Woman's Flight Becomes Bus Ride: American Airlines' New Shuttle Service
Imagine you booked a flight but ended up on a bus!

She thought she was on a short flight, but it was actually a bus ride thanks to a new service from American Airlines.
This service uses buses to connect passengers, aiming to ease congestion.
The woman didn't mind, as she wasn't paying close attention when booking.
Many online users were confused, wondering if the cost was the same and if it offered the same amenities as a flight, such as drink service.
A woman's flight from South Bend to Chicago turned out to be a bus ride.
The service is part of a new partnership between American Airlines and The Landline Company.
The woman booked the trip as a connection from a longer trip.
