Any chance of getting compensation from PS (Ukraine International Airlines)?

TLV-ODS (business cash - 2pax)
Flight was cancelled, I was not notified (google now saved the day though)

I just flew Alitalia I have a mountain buggy nano stroller which legally fits in the overhead cabin and they would not let it on the plane in TLV saying I would get it in Rome. When we got to Rome they said they send all strollers to JFK. When we got to JFK we didn't get it at the gate and only with the luggage.

Is there any way I could get compensation for this?

PLEASE HELP ME!
I booked a mileage ticket for April 23 for the way back ticket for my families Pesach trip on Friday the 31st. After paying I got a page that says it would take a few hours to be ticketed.
I thought I was taken care of. I never received an email.

I just realized today that I never got a confirmation email and now they claim I never paid and I have no proof. My credit card company also does not have proof. I do not want to pay the extra 375 dollars for booking my family of 5.
The supervisors that I spoke with were very not nice and claim I never bought it and they will not waive the fee.

Can someone please provide me with the right numbers to call to get people that can waive the fee.

I doubt I can help, but you should probably write the airline in your post so maybe someone else can

wrong thread.
assuming the extra $375 is for a close-in fee
if you're flying united
try the UA close-in trick.

in short. Book a flight more than 3 weeks in advance, once its ticketed you'll be able to change to your actual dates and wont be charged the close-in

He just explained it above. The fee is charged for flights that are occurring sooner than 3 weeks from now.  To avoid the fee, book a flight for MORE than 3 weeks from now, and then call and change the flight to the dates you want. You won't be charged the close in fee.

Outbound it was just painful, They delayed out flight so we went to an airport that's 45 min away, but then that flight was delayed too, then finally once we boarded and were on runway he turned back to take more fuel...

Inbound, pilot wasn't feeling well they flew in a pilot, 3 Hours.

PS, Thanks, Posted my sale :) :)

canceled why? Can you get AA to put you on another airline?

Do you already have another flight that you are posting here asking about compensation already?
