Missed Flight, Charged to Get On the Next One

Question is if there is any grounds to dispute the charge. Charge was 180 per person, plus the price difference.

Hi just reviving an old thread, couldn’t find anything else

A family member of mine was booked on a one way ticket with 5 children from Europe to us.
They arrived early to the airport, checked in, and then waited a long time to pass security (one child was taken aside as well for a few min) after they were finally through security it was very late already and they were basically told that they missed the flight,
They never called out there names, and after the flight left there wasn’t anyone to speak to, I called in and waited over an hour for the rep to tell me that it was a no show and tuff luck. She declined to rebook or refund declined to get a supervisor, and then just cut the line on me

I would like to dispute, do I have any merit?

No
I assume this was a LCC?
Life isn't about checking the boxes. Nobody cares.

Were they at the gate and told they couldn't board? How much time before departure?

Which airline? What exactly happened? They went to the gate right after security and were told they couldn't board anymore? They just walked off?

It was leaving ZRH-DUS DUS-JFK
When they arrived to the gate there was that guy packing up his backpack and he just told them sorry boarding closed already and he left

The airline was eurowings (by Lufthansa which they then didn’t know)
And the airline didn’t have any rep left in the airport

Do you know exactly how much before scheduled departure time they arrived at the gate? Do they have a picture of the screen at the gate showing the time?

just an update
I won the dispute BH, reason is because they never responded to it.😁

 Thanks everyone for your advice!
