Are people getting compensated or receiving vouchers for delayed/cancelled DL flights today? Im flying Delta tonight and app says its already been delayed an hour (will most probably be even more)
Got 2 $100 vouchers (for 2 people) for a 2 hr delay  8)

Obviously, as they are the only one's that really care about Kashrus, and with LY you actually have an option to order Fish with a "mehudar" hashgacha, unlike other airlines where there's only one version of KSML.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Lol. I gotta try that one of these days: calling up and muttering something about food not being eida.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

I was flying on Southwest from Midway in Chicago to LGA a bit less then a month ago, flight was supposed to leave at 4:55, was delayed once before boarding (didn't leave the gate till around eight o'clock), second time before take off for like another hour, and a third time midflight (for like 20 minutes) didnt get to Brooklyn before 12:30 am... I think it was all due to bad weather in LGA

So I sent an email to Southwest, that I had to pay much more to get a hotel for the night and get to new Jersey next day where I'm currently residing,

got a $200 southwest voucher in the mail...

Just playing devils advocate for a minute.

Once she's home, how can she prove that it happened while the bag was in ElAl's care? Even if she goes back to the airport to file a claim, they can say it happened on her way home.

My sister just got an email saying that her flight is changed from 9.30 pm to next day 9.30 am. Flying EWR to LHR.
Is there anything to do regarding getting her on this flight. Also,  if not is it possible to get her upgraded?
It's American Airlines
