Is it normal for United to just never get back to you after you submit feedback on their site?

It usually takes a while for them to respond IME.

flew delta biz ( with glitch) but didn't get kosher meal although it was confirmed over the phone.
Will they just sneeze at me or is it worth trying?

Did he ask to be switched to another seat?
Them's the breaks of airiline travel. The airline can't really control who sits next to you. They refunded what you paid extra and gave you some miles. Seems fair to me

I knew it was the conservative chief rabbi. No Yiddishe mother would let you on a 15 hour journey without three meals, just in case

About two weeks ago I planned on flying with UA from NYC to CLE to RDU. Because of the severe weather conditions they canceled both my flights.
What type of compensation should I ask for and what usually happens in such cases?

I should note that the complete ticket ($225) was RDU-IDA-LGA (flew successfully) and LGA-CLE-RDU (which was cancelled).

Probably a refund for that half of the ticket or rebook at a later date. I don't think they give over and beyond for weather cancellations.

ON the U.S Airways glitch ticket going to Israel this past week, a flight attendant Literally shoved me out of the cabin in the back and started screaming to get out when I tried to wash negel vasser into the garbage can. I first tried to wash and then he said you cant do that here and I said ok. I proceeded to throw the cup in the garbage and he turned around and thought I was still washing and then put his arm on my shoulder and forcefully pushed me and said OUT! OUT! My wife and a guy standing next to me were shocked, what do you guys recommend I do? Also they broke my bag handle on the way back?  I skipped the YYZ leg and drove back home from Philly and I credit to AAdvantage, not sure if it posted yet. Any suggestions?
