Last Sunday, my wife was flying United from JFK to LAX and her flight was delayed over 9 hours. I’ve never even heard of a delay this long. They’re offering $125 voucher or 6250 points which is pretty pathetic. What kind of comp would you expect? We’d like a refund for that leg ~$500 but she doesn’t have any status

Your credit card might provide some compensation for delays. But otherwise I wouldn’t expect compensation. If the delay meant she missed the reason she was flying, she could have returned home and gotten a full refund as trip in vain. She could have also pushed to be endorsed over to another airline (other than Jetblue, Southwest, Spirit, and Frontier), even from or into a nearby city

Depends on the cause. If it were an “act of God” or a passenger insubordination issue, United has no obligation to compensate.

Similar happened to me and waited 5 hours for a “mechanical” issue. It was only a flight from ATL To NYC but delta reimbursed me points equal to the price of that leg. I did have to call a few days after though and ask for it

AA did that to me two years ago during their fight with the union, I think I got 20,000 miles, but I carried no status and never flew AA. I think $125 is a little low. $500 seems steep.

Transactional associate. Lateraled 6 months ago and one of the biggest pain points has been my new firm’s inclination to “hop on a call”, which of course requires every single stakeholder to join. The end result being every call has 25 people on it and nothing actually gets done because no one wants to ask a question that could come off as silly. It’s destroying my ability to get anything done during the day. It’s a complete performance and it drives me nuts.
