I'd love to see the others filled out (especially S*UAL/INTL-Adopt! )

I was actually going to post this here but you beat me to it. I, too, would love to see the missing ones filled and the existing ones updated. If anyone has updated/new profiles and either doesn't want to or doesn't know how to update the wiki, PM me and I'll be happy to take care of it.

Denied boarding

My brother was flying from JFK to SYD via LAX.

He checked in in NY, but didn't board the flight on time, but they didn't call his name on the loudspeaker. He came to the gate 2 minutes after they finished boarding and they didn't let him on the flight.

They put him on the next flight to LAX, but he arrived in Los Angeles right after they closed the gates and he was 2 minutes late again and missed the connecting flight (although they just closed the gate, plane was still at the gate and they put the baggage on the plane without taking it off).

As the flight is only daily, he would have to wait at least a day.

Is there anything he can do? Is it IDB as the plane was still at the gate and it was supposed to be a connecting flight? If it is, how can he be compensated; if it's not, is there another way to compensate him for missing his flight?

Should they pay for clothes for the next few days as he has no clothes on him and they sent the baggage without him? If they should pay for clothes, who does he contact?

Thank you,

Shmueli

Not boarding your plane on time is not called an IDB, thats called being late for your flight. Whether they called him or not over the PA system isn't any excuse. Boarding passes have a boarding time on them for a reason. Where was he that he only came to the gate 2 minutes after boarding closed? T7 at JFK aint that big...

If i was him i'd just be glad i made it home before yom tov after my own screwup.

The main problem is that he's not going to make it home before yom tov.

I realize that missing the flight in JFK was probably his own screwup, but I was wondering whether United should have taken care of him at LAX. Since they didn't put him onto the Sydney flight (which was still at the gate), I was wondering if it possible to get anything out of them (an upgrade etc.).

So this is hot off the press then...

The flight was closed, boarding was over, even if the plane was still there. Was the jetway still attached? Was the door closed? Since everything came as a result of him being late for his flight in the first place, i don't think you'd get anything from them by way of compensation.

My understanding is that the jetway was still attached.

Is there anything to do about his luggage which was sent to Sydney without him?

Thanks,

Well they should have taken his bags off since he wasn't on board. But thats for security reasons, nothing else.

I'm assuming he would've walked off the JFK flight and ran straight to the new gate (they're right next to each other). How was he towards the GA? Sometimes a good attitude can do wonders (not saying that he stood there screaming at them for making him miss his flight, but it's been known to happen).

He's a premier member. They were closing the door - so it was still open.

He's not a nasty person, so I'd imagine he was nice. She was wearing a magen david, so I cannot understand what she was thinking, or what she was trying to prove!

They were closing the plane door or the door to the jetway? If the door to the jetway, then i would guess the plane door was closed and the jetway retracted already.

I guess the only positive thing is you can be sure that won't happen to him again!

This discussion will likely be moved to its own thread soon, since it is not pertinent to the topic of the thread, but:

Despite sharing the faith of the passenger, gate agents have a job to do and could get disciplined or fired for breaking policy, such as getting a plane out late to accommodate a late passenger. On-time performance, as much as UA has failed to meet it lately, is still basically the #1 priority of the GAs. If they made an exception for everyone who was in a bind, whether of the same faith or not, they would quickly be out of a job. (Of course, discussions of faith and whether or not that is pertinent should probably end here, since that tends to get a thread quickly off-topic and/or shut down.)

I feel for your brother, but ultimately, because he was late for the first flight, he was the one responsible for subsequently missing his connecting flights... UA isn't at fault and is not liable for compensation, hotel, etc. It would be nice if they provided it, for sure, but they're not obligated to do so.

Oh, I think it was to the jetway - so maybe they had already closed the plane door.

I guess it won't happen again!

Did they send him to LAX without enough time to make his connection, or did he mess around in the airport, lose track of time and then miss the connection? UA may cover hotel if they sent him on without sufficient connection time, but not somewhere close to a synagogue or for multiple days if that's what is needed.

As far as the holiday goes, I'm sure there is a chabad in the LA area that will help him out.

The jetway connected, door open or not - none of that tells a passenger whether the flight is closed or not. It's more complicated than that.
