AA 1286 Cancelled DFW - ATL
As I landed in DFW I get an email saying my flight to ATL was cancelled and that I have been rebooked on a later flight.
The later flight is only a little more than an hour later than my original flight. My problem is that i was going to ATL for one meeting and now I will be an hour late getting to the meeting and the person i am meeting with was not happy. This was the only reason i was going to ATL.
When i went into the AC they told me the flight was "no longer in service" and that it was probably a mech issue but they didn't know for sure. My guess is that they cancelled it b/c the flight was empty and so was the next flight.
I am new to AA, currently Gold and on a Plat challenge. I know that if i were to vol give up my seat on a overbooked flight i would be compensated. What if anything should I expect?
