Airline Compensation Master Thread

[lubaby]

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

When is the flight? Was just her seat delayed or was there a schedule change canceling a whole flight?

Get on the phone with them and tell them she really needs to be in London by a certain time (hence the booking made) and see if they can accommodate on any of their (or their partners) other flights.

my dca to tlv flight had the dca to jfk leg cancelled when i was in dca already. i told them i would just pick it up in jfk which i did.  today i got 2x200 vouchers (2 tickets). should i leave it at that or go for more?

That was their official compensation offer, so doubt it's worth trying for more.

Hi! I really need advice here.  My daughter was coming from Israel on Azberbajain Airlines and had a different airlines that we booked (not connected to the first airline and not in the record).  Instead of her leaving Wed. night and going through Baku the airline detained after a very hard ordeal and shlep without normal food the whole flight and it changed planes in Turkey and arrived three hours before Shabbos. Initially, she was supposed to arrive Thursday morning to jfk and go to Colorado six hours later.  She ended up missing Shabbos of the Bar mitzvah and we lost her ticket from NY to Colorado (as it wasn't their fault she missed the plane) Her flight on Sunday was delayed for a different reason and she came in to CO after the Bar mitzvah of Shabbos and Sunday. This was booked by Chase Saphire. She needed extra taxis and a place to stay for Shabbos etc.

Any advice? Any recourse? Is there anyone who fights these type of things that would like to do this for commission? We wrote Azberbajan airlines with no response and it is already a month. Supposedly it says in Israeli rules that an airline who detains more than nine hours has to pay compensation.

Please advise!

This was booked on Priceline.

To start, call Chase and open a claim.

great! I did that.
Any other suggestions?
What would you do?

There is something in Israeli law about not detaining an airline more than 8 hours.  Is there a way to complain internationally? or to Israel?

Not really. Agents have some authority to give compensation, but not much, and they'll almost always direct you to the form. Annoying, but it's been that way for 2 years.

Unless it's mechanical as well. I. E. Like I had once when there was storms and they were waiting for equipment change that would be able to fly over the storm.
