A friend was on the LAX-HNL flight yesterday. First the flight was delayed two hours and then passengers were told that there was a mechanical problem which resulted in another three hour delay.
Everyone was given a meal voucher but were told that since the delay was less than six hours, that was all they were going to get.
It wouldn't be that bad if the flight ended up arriving at a reasonable hour but it was after 2 am when they arrived in HNL.
Can't believe a five hour delay doesn't deserve some sort of compensation.
