Just flew LGA-ATL-MIA-JFK with Avios. The phone rep who I spoke to at first told me it was 7.5k each segment (she had me routed on the way back MIA-LHR-JFK!) then of course the sales rep took 19.5 RT.
Got to the airport had to wait 45 min on hold with BA because they had not ticketed it yet.
Compensation(2 tickets): 20k!
they only wanted 7.5k for MIA-LHR-JFK??!

Where do you contact AA?

Friend just flew JFK-LAX, the stewardess told him no free WiFi, (when you get free WiFI in first class) The the entertainment system didn't work the first two hours.

How do I go, I ask for a specific compensation, or I just complain?

Did you pay the taxes with that card when you booked?

Delta just cancelled flight due to technical problem with inbound flight. I'm rebooked for 8pm flight. They booked bad seats near exits...  No way to change anymore!  FULLY BOOKED! How do I go about compensation?
