it's good to be a Lubavitcher
Which airline?
A friend missed his connecting flight (fell asleep at the gate) to LHR in CMN. Not only will they not put him in the next flight, they consider him a no show, which they say invalidates his return from LHR to JFK. Anything we can do for him?
It's Morocco, tell him to get some money out (not too much!) and to give it to the agent telling him it will invalidate its return trip, he'll be on the next flight in no time.
Thanks. He's a timid little guy. I'll let you know if he gets the courage and is successful
Why would he get anything from amex if he missed his flight and it was his fault?
1) He probably won't get anything.2) As for the legitimacy of the claim - airlines will most often put you on the next flight if you miss a connection. Especially seeing as he was sitting at the gate waiting, and happened to doze off. Presumably, they were calling his name before they closed boarding, and they didn't happen to notice the one dude sitting at an otherwise empty gate sleeping? I know of people who have been woken up at the gate by gate agents who assumed they were the missing passengers.
you snooze you loose
