Yeah I get 10-20k miles per delay from American
I file a complaint in American Airlines complaint form portal online. It asks for all info (your flight number, frequent flyer number, departing / arriving airport etc.). Then in the comments say something like "I'm a loyal AA flyer, I fly every week and usually hold your airline to a higher standard than others, but my experience yesterday is starting to test my loyalty. We spent this many hours on the Tarmac yada yada yada... Would appreciate anything you can to do compensate for this unfortunate experience" then you get an email saying they put 10k miles on your account. I've earned over 100k additional miles due to delays this year.
Reason? If not weather or air traffic and you aren't proactively offered miles, write a letter/email. You'll at least get miles.
P1 what do you do exactly to get them to give you those miles?
Agree with P1. I usually say AA usually does much better and that I'm very disappointed. Last time got me a 200 voucher - sat in the runway for 50 minutes waiting for maintenance to move a plane from the gate and ended up missing my connection, last flight of the night, even though I was there at departure time and the closed the door 10 minutes early knowing damn well I was sitting on a plane feet away waiting for a gate.
