However, no compensation was offered on the spot, and the cabin crew didn't sound very apologetic when doing the PA on board.
I contacted the customer service, and was offered 8,000 miles. I am FB Plat. Do you think this is a fair compensation? Looking at this thread, it seems that the OP was compensated on the spot with his choice of 15,000 FB miles or Skymiles.
Sincerely, this is a minor inconvenient and 8000 miles is fair for me. But that's just my humble opinion.
