Dan's cancelled London trip
« on: November 12, 2015, 08:44:53 PM »
Sorry for the hurting title. But I think it's a cool idea to update us on the suitcases, AA conversations, compensation etc.

It must be extremely upsetting for you & I feel bad for ya! (You're probably busy on the phone cancelling hotels etc - oh gosh)

I would just email to some bigshot in AA a link of your DDMS trip report with a phone number if they want to "apologize".

Crazy story. Any way to harness the power of ddf? Gotta take advantage of the fact that this happened to someone with 55K twitter followers and not to a random guy...

From the TR, "And finally we were given tickets back to Cleveland at 9:15am from LGA along with a car service voucher. "

Truth is would've been better off with Uber. Guy clearly wanted a tip and I had nothing besides for a 10.
