Airline Compensation Master Thread

[CS1]

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?

Did you see the name on his badge?
That's probably the first step...?

[YosefG]

Yeah I saw the name, but not so much interested in getting him in trouble, as I am in financial/miles compensation? If I have his name, what should I ask for from there?

[rans]

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.

Thanks, so I should just fill out an online form and hope for the best?

You can try calling to see what they say.

Airline: Delta (Glitch Tix)
Flight: LAX-JFK
Class: Business/First
Incident: only had the frozen portion of first class kosher meal, had to give us coach hot meal
Compensation: Right away they offered 5K miles or $50 credit voucher for each of us



They were so nice, I wouldn't have made a big deal, we still got food but they went out of their way to apologize and compensate! They treat first class passengers so much better!!

[Emkay]

What's the best way to contact delta for comp for switching my flight from direct to multi stopover?

[Allune]

Just returned on delta LAX - JFK,  red eye. My wife's business class seat was broken. Would not recline...  Thoughts on requested compensation? It was a mistake fair, so I don't want a "refund".
I have it all on tape too. Steward trying to manually lie the seat flat. Hilarious.

I hope you gave her your seat

I like her, but not THAT much lol

If it's a red-eye, then I guess it depends who has to go to work the next day.

[Ergel]

If it's a red-eye, then I guess it depends who has to go to work the next day is the woman.

Last time I flew NYC-TLV  with UA, I found my uncle on the plane, after napping the first 5 hours I gave him my J seat. It was my nicest economy ridw ever!

That's great. I am sure he was thrilled. There is nothing like sitting in economy for hours trying to sleep with your legs cramping up and then being given a nice bed to lay down in.

[blue eyes]

Can't hurt to try.

I kind of wasted my breath. they offered a generous apology with no compensation. however after explicitly asking for one, they gave me 7,500 delta miles which i will never use. oh well...

Airline: American
Flight: CLE-LGA
Class: Economy (award ticket)
Incident: Flight delayed due to last minute paperwork, deplaned for maintainence and no water on board.
Compensation: $100 eVoucher Each

Planning to use voucher to pay for luggage. Does anyone have experience using voucher for lesser value purchases? I don't have any AA miles is it worth starting my collection?

[YudiG]

So, UA 84 (EWR-TLV) on 3/10 boarded on time...pulled back halfway and then went back to gate due to mechanical issues...first it was 1.5 hours..then they announced another 1.5 hours and allowed us to deplane to walk around.

Headed back to the lounge...at the end, we all deplaned and departed on a new plane 7 hours late...when I finally go to TLV an email from UA was in my inbox offering either 10K miles, $250 Voucher or 20% off voucher...should I take the $250 without an issue or call and press my case?
