Delta notified me that my transatlantic flight today won’t have WiFi. Given it’s business class and I am silver, what miles compensation can I expect from this?

Probably nothing since they are still in the process of rolling out wifi for transatlantic flights.

My guess is nothing.

Got 6k each, plus probably something else from Air France that is operating the flight. Don’t stop dreaming!

Just booked another transatlantic flight for 32k (one way economy). In terms of value this was probably 120$ for this flight. Still below what I make in a hour, but good considering I made it in 15 mins out of nothing (+6k for SO which I am not counting)

Nothing

Always worth to chat with customer service.

Important to note the distinction between compensation and goodwill gesture.

You will always get $0 compensation for this because there is no entitlement for a lack of wifi. Goodwill gestures can be provided as OP found out here, but YMMV
