Was upgraded (complimentary) for an 4.5 hour flight, then it was cancelled due to maintenance.

I was rebooked into a different itinerary that leaves and arrives within an hour of before, but cont.

That happened to me once. They said I could be re-booked in economy on a non-stop or take a connection in first. I did the connection since it was my first time in first.

See if they have any options on other routings if you really want to stay in first. I've never heard of lounge passes being issued in situations like this, but doesn't hurt to ask.

Not In first. Any chance I could ask for a lounge pass during the much longer layover?

Any chance to get put to the top of the upgrade lists?

I want to ask for points/ voucher but seems a bit petty.

You can ask for voucher due to the MX delay. Getting to the top of the upgrade list depends upon airline. For example, with Delta if they rebooked you in full fare economy you would have a relatively higher fare class, putting you higher on the upgrade list. No voucher available for not getting the new upgrade, and no voucher for lounge access.

Them’s the breaks. Cant hurt to ask (nicely). As a upgrade, you’re def not entitled to biz on the re-book. In the past though, I’ve been successful with getting to moved to the top of the upgrade list in this situation.

Thanks for the responses! For reference I’m exec plat on AA.

Unfortunately the lounge and the airline are kind of independent. Agents use to be able to handout lounge passes but unfortunately cannot anymore. Just ask someone walking in if they mind you walking in with them. Solid strategy that has never failed me.

C2- kinda ghetto but respect

All the processes have gotten more sophisticated / rigid. I’ve been dying solo since I was 11 or 12 and remember just being to ask nicely for re-routes (direct instead of layover) and upgrades, and gate agents just being able to make it happen.

At one time I had status on most airlines and hotels but I never bothered to focus on accumulating points since it seemed like they were infinite and I booked on convenience. Oh have times changed! I even let go of Amex platinum, just wasn’t worth it to me. Base airport LAX/SNA so no airline pref.
