Are they not required to offer you cash btw?

As I'm on the plane UA202 to OGG I get this one. Keep in mind I am using the wifi as I type this.

"On behalf of United Airlines, we want to apologize for any inconvenience you encountered during your travel with us on August 6th from Chicago to Maui.

Your comfort and enjoyment are very important to us and we place a great deal of emphasis on proper maintenance of all equipment in our cabins.

This is why I do not mind delays from TLV

Dear Chucksterace:

Thank you for your patience while we have reviewed your request for compensation under the Israeli Services Law.

United Airlines has determined that, in this case, monetary compensation is applicable and will be issued only to customers who were holding a confirmed reservation, a fare paid ticket, and were checked in and available to board the aircraft in accordance with United’s Contract of Carriage.

As alternative options to your claim for cash compensation, we would like to offer you a choice of a $1,000 (USD) United Travel Certificate* (redeemable and transferable toward the purchase of any United or United Express-operated flight) or 30,000 United MileagePlus miles (redeemable on flights operated by United, United Express or by Air Canada, ANA, Austrian, Lufthansa, SAS Scandinavian, Swiss, Thai and 20 additional Star Alliance partners worldwide.)

How long was your delay? Last December I had a 5 hour delay and was only offered a $100 e-voucher.

My brother had to sit next to a couple with a smelly, messy, screaming baby on AA LAX-JFK. They offered to switch him to a middle seat elsewhere, but he said no thanks. Is there still chance for comp?

so your brother is a proxy troll?

IMO- it couldn't have been that bad if he didn't take the alternate middle seat.

They only offered it at the beginning of the flight, and before they overtook the space under his seat.

They crowded their luggage under their own seats and his seat.

Something about the story stinks. (Pun intended)

Absolutely ridiculous thread.
I'm just waiting to see someone write... I was sitting in economy eating my kosher meal and saw that the treif first class meal was better than mine. Then i noticed that the person in front of me got their drink before me! Then he got an extra ice cube in their drink. Now my blood was really boiling!
I asked the flight attendent if i could switch to a seat in front of him thinking that i might get my drink first at the next meal and maybe I'd get 2 extra ice cubes. The FA said there were no extra seats as it was a full flight. So i demanded that i be upgraded to first class and she said no!!
Is there still chance for compensation?

?? $:-\$

You thought it was crazy, and yet, instead of counseling that such a request was indeed embarrassingly crazy, you chose to ask here anyway.

<sigh>

If you had to buy a few items in the meanwhile, most airlines will pay (reasonable amounts... Not crazy)
