Thanks for writing about your flight from Tel Aviv to New York. I can imagine how upsetting it was when you missed appointments after our delay.
 
I’m really sorry your flight to New York was delayed due to problems with our ground equipment. We know you’re eager to get to where you are going, and it’s difficult when you have to wait. I also wish our staff in Tel Aviv would have been more courteous and provided updated information.
 
Flight 469 on 12/15/13 from Tel Aviv to New York was delayed for 12 hours due to inoperable ground equipment. After this issue was identified, maintenance action was needed so the flight could continue.
 
In accordance with the Israeli Aviation Services Law, you’re due compensation.
 
Check
I will be requesting a check from our bank in the amount of $873.42. Please allow sufficient time for processing and postal delivery.
 
I hope you had a nice time while in Tel Aviv. We look forward to providing a much better experience on your next Delta flight.
 
Regards,

Why were they required to give that?

[davidd75]

BA sent us an itinerary that included a AB flight from TV to JFK with a 4:00 am departure time.  Turns out there was no such flight and it departed at around the usual 8:00 a.m.  Passenger had to lose a good night's sleep trying to arrive around 2:00 a.m. in Tel Aviv. 

I sent a complaint via e-mail to BA customer relations in October 2013 and they are "still investigating"

Does anybody have any e-mail address of a top executive that I can forward my complaint to and get a quicker resolution?  or any other contacts? ideas?

law of israel

he said that the plane had mechanical failure. it was a full 24 hr delay

You made it sounds like it was a weather related delay

Update: I went on a shopping spree and was reimbursed for the necessary items. More than ticket cost. 
Now waiting for the insurance to cover the other ticket.

And insurance paid for another $600. Lovely double-dipping and paid for the second ticket too...

That might be called insurance fraud. Just saying.....

I paid for insurance and it's none of their business if I also made the airline pay.

Frontier airlines
Colorado to LGA. Ticket cost about $150
They made an emergency landing in Indianapolis at 12 am put us up in the hotel over night. They gave everyone a $300 voucher. They put everybody on a flight the next morning at 6am. I as a bachur which wanted more sleep asked them to put me on a flight at 12 noon. When I woke up I heard that the 6 am flight also got delayed and they gave out another 500 voucher. The entire flight got the same thing . Pretty cool 500 for sleeping another 5 hours! ( although their vouchers are not worth that much )
