I took a flight with delta SWF to DTW. We boarded at around 140pm for  206pm departure. however they told us the navigation broke and they have to find another peice eventually they got something so we taxiied to the runway however right before takeoff the captain told us that they are looking for a flight route it took  1.5 hours for the pilots to say we are turning back to the gate this was around 330pm it was swealtering ho during his time people were sweating buckets. we got to the terminal waited 30 minutes and then reboarded after we were in the plane they told us again that they are still looking for a flight route (HELLO!!!!!) we waited another 45 minutes again in the sweltering heat and finally took off at around 530pm any advice if i can file a omplaint by the dot or just get compensation from delta?

Can anybody recommend a company that handles EU mandatory compensation claims? Looking for an efficient company for standard 25% cut area.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

Did EWR to TLV with my family. Had over 3 hour delay with United due to a late aircraft inbound arrival. In addition, wifi not working. How do I go about compensation? Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Had they known you type in all caps, they probably would've offered half that.


Side note, what's the best method of contact for Delta with regards to compensation?

Delayed baggage for around 50 hours with Aeroflot.
What's the best way to go about it?
Is there anyone to talk to there?
I hope you got something from your CC

I emailed them. Got $150 choice award for cancelled flight, need to rebook with a stopover. (This was on top of the $200 they gave many poeple automatically for the cancelled flights back during the tornadoes in Atlanta)
Took them about a month to get back to me, then sent my choice rewards to a different person and he used it (they gave me the email address they sent it to, and the person denied using it). They promised me two $150 choice rewards as compensation, and I only received one. I emailed them and they have yet to answer me. I tried calling twice and both times I get a 3 hour waiting time.
I'm not who you think I am.

CSR gives $100 per day so hopefully they'll reimburse me somewhat.
