Missed flight please help
« on: January 01, 2018, 11:10:04 PM »
Sorry for starting new thread, just didnt know where to put this. My sister had an american airlines flight this morning leaving Tel aviv to America. She overslept and missed her flight. The airlines is saying it will cost her $300 change fee plus the difference of the new flight. Anyone have experience with this? Please help asap or do i just need to keep calling and huca? TiA

You can beg them and try to shift the blame on them, I know someone who succeeded like that (for the change fee, not the flight difference)
But....
American doesn't fly from TLV.

I had this issue with United, but I was legitimately given bad info by a CSR. I was put on the next flight for free. HUCA if you can, and as @davidrotts63 said, try to shift the blame a bit, they may be more inclined to put you (her) on the next flight.

She ended up just getting American airline credit and booked a new flight..they told her credit can only be used for her. Does that make sense?

That's the same as paying the difference in fare.

If it's an e-voucher they definitely used to allow it to be used for friends and family. Things may have changed.

Miss flight, show up at airport, get flat tire rule accommodation.
This stuff isn't rocket science.

Does the flat tire rule apply to all airlines? (Domestically that is)
