What means "flight was not booked"?
Flight was booked AMS-IAD-MIA with LH but Aeroplan did not relay the message across when we changed it to AMS-ZRH-MIA with LX.

I went on a group flight that was delayed 2 hours. It was on LOT Polish. They don't want to do anything because it was a group reservation. Any suggestions what to do?
anyone have any ideas to get compensation??

Just be happy they got you where you needed to go. Delays, especially a 2 hour one, are not uncommon. Just seems like you are trying to milk an empty cow :P

Airline: American Eagle (BA award ticket)

As I was with my wife and child, think I can request additional compensation for them as well?

How did you request compensation? During travel or after? Email or call?
Hey there! I am using WhatsApp.

Sure!
How would you go about submitting followup requests?

After, by email.

The odd thing is I submitted 2 separate complaints, one for the LGA-CLE segment and one for the CLE-LGA one (different, legit issues). I got confirmation emails about both, but both had the same reference # and I only got 1 response. I guess I'll have to submit again.

You COULD try calling. Sometimes they can help and save you the trouble. Did you submit the complaint under your name? Send the same complaint under your wifes name? And send one on behalf of your child? Was the child a paid seat?
