+1  Also, are you still in the airport? Much easier to deal with there IMO.

You should still get compensation especially if you don't get your luggage until tomorrow or what not. I'd call and see how much they will let you spend for necessities.

If you called within 24 hours it's sort of your own fault then. I personally wouldn't ask for compensation for not getting it then.


But I'd call the airline asap before they get your suitcase to you.

I had a AA flight from PHL to Miami on July 28th using Avios that was cancelled. The terminal lost electricity and there was no flow of information about what was happening. To get my checked in luggage I had to wait by check in counter for my name to be called in the almost dark, as all conveyer belts where not working.I ended up not flying at all. BA refunded me the points and any fees. Is there anything more I can get from BA or American?
I am sometimes accused of overthinking things. I am still mulling over whether that accusation has merit.

I recently flew US Airways EWR-PHX-BUR on a paid ticket in coach.
The EWR to PHX leg was delayed 3 hours for weather (rain) and air traffic control decided to reroute the flight over Canada so we had to get more fuel before takeoff. By the time we got to PHX there were no more connections to BUR so we had to stay overnight in PHX without compensation since it was weather related. Whats the best route if any to get compensation?

I was in austrian business class (on UA  miles) and the steward popped some champagne near me and soaked my face and clothes. It was painful in my eyes  for a while. Austrian miles have no use for me, can i ask for ua miles? how much is reasonable to expect?

I did ask for UA miles- got 7500.

Airline: Delta
Flight: TLV-JFK
Class: Business
Incident: Flight got canceled. re-booked us on the ELAL flight (1:00 AM instead of 12:40 AM).
Compensation: 20K miles + refund of the difference between coach and Business, (not sure amount yet, should be about $2500). (Claimed that LY J is not worth what DL J is worth).
Side income is the most solid income... בדוק ומנוסה
