Delta had us leave the airplane after boarding due to plane malfunction. Flight was delayed for 4.5 hours. Am I entitled to compensation? If so, how much should I ask for?

No.

Entitled? No. Like A1 said, this isn’t the EU. Passenger rights are abysmal in the US.

But if you politely ask for a goodwill gesture, you will get miles or a voucher (be clear which one you’re asking for)

like

Amount varies by status and length of interruption.

I prefer vouchers as they count towards elite qualification. Benefit of miles is usage on partner airlines

Thanks for help everyone. I contacted them and got a $200 voucher for the 4.5 hour delay.

Complain and you’ll get miles. There is a clause in your ticket agreement that states there is a possibility of being delayed or canceled or something like that. But like I said, complain and you’ll get miles

Was this in Atlanta?

SFO

The airlines would go broke if they gave money for all delays of this length. The number of times I have been stuck overnight with no compensation…….

They will give you nothing if it is weather.

If it’s overnight and mechanical/crew, you’ll get a hotel.

Are you in the latter scenario and still left stranded? That’s surprising
