Just flew Delta from Boston to Heathrow. Paid $300 day before flight to upgrade to premium select for the reclining seat as I wanted to try to sleep on the overnight flight. Seat didn’t recline properly and footrest would not release. Two flight attendants attempted to fix it and couldn’t. Purser on the flight filed a report. I want to file a complaint with Delta and request compensation. Should I ask for the upgrade amount to be refunded, miles?

Surprised purser didn't offer anything on the spot!

She mentioned that. Said she didn’t want to give me miles at the time because they might not refund the upgrade cost if I took them.

I would ask for both

I would ask for absolutely no less than the cost of the upgrade, plus compensation for your flight disruption (everyone hanging around your feet trying to get things to work) and something additional because they should be checking that stuff. I would ask for a refund in cash unless they are willing to give miles that are valued at higher than the $ you calculated. Cash you can spend anywhere. Miles must be spent with them.

They are the most senior flight attendant and are in charge of the crew.

Wow I can’t wait to be making this kind of money for this to be the kind of problems I have #goals

Call delta! I had a horrible delay recently and they gave me the option of miles or voucher. Opted for miles because they go further

SkyPesos suck.

Pro tip: you have to ask for both at the same time. If the purser had given you anything, you couldn't ask for something else. I learned this the hard way.

I would have asked for a business class seat onboard if there was an empty one

What are your thoughts on pay discrepancies based on family structure? Ex. Two people do the same job but one is paid more or given a larger bonus “because they have kids and you live alone” or “because their family is struggling”. Is that an ethical factor if both employees do the same job at the same pace, quality, etc?

Does anyone have family members who constantly demand money because they feel like you’re rich now because you’re a lawyer? I’ve always wanted to be in a position to help my family but we all live in the high COL city so my salary doesn’t carry me as far as it would elsewhere. I’ve given a detailed summary of all of my expenses yet every month one family member in particular comes to me for rent money (not some, the full amount, and they refuse to get a job). It has become quite the burden.
