Route: PDX-ATL-CMH
Fare: T Fare
Status: Southwest A-List, for good reason
What Happened: Close to 4-hour mechanical delay leaving PDX. Started at 30 minutes, then an hour. Rebooked onto later ATL-CMH connection. Part had to be flown in from Seattle, then the plane from Seattle had a mechanical problem itself. Delay goes to 2 hours, then 4. Never was going to make my connection in ATL. Rebooked on the same flight the next day. Delta gave me a voucher for a stay at the Shilo Inn at PDX and like 2 $15 airport food vouchers. Uh, no way in Hades am I subjecting myself to all that when I'm in the greatest city in the world. Complained about the flight, missing work the next day, and insufficient compensation for the overnight.
Compensation: 10,000 Miles which I am very happy with.
