What would you all recommend? Worth writing a letter? What should I expect for compensation. This leg of my flight is part of a 5 leg trip covering 6 weeks as we visit family. We are expats who work in Asia and this ticket cost me $1800 per person for my family.

You aren't supposed to book flights with tight connections, as you will have a missed connection about one time in five. You need to take this into consideration when booking the flight.
