Route: SFO-LAX-SYD
Fare: T ("upgraded" to C+)
Status: DM
What happened: Inbound connection to LAX initially delayed due to ATC, but we still landed in LAX at 9.50p only 20 minutes behind schedule; however there was a plane at our gate that "had issues" (no other details given). We pulled into the gate at 10.50p and the SYD flight a few gates away left at 10.50p. Eventually got rebooked in coach on another carrier for a flight leaving 24 hours later. Lost a full day of vacation, and the EC upgrade. Not heard anything from Delta yet. What is reasonable compensation?
