Since they had no hotels for us, was not about to put Mrs Zabes64 on a 14.5 hour flight then a 3.5h flight after being stuck in an airport for 19 hours.
We were not given meal vouchers either.
How did it go down? Where did you hear about the cancellation? Sitting at FL hearing that or in the aircraft?
You need to push it to other carriers airlines, including ANZ. It's just ridiculous for two days of delay. You should have asked for full day of meal vouchers before your flight to SYD. At this point I don't know how we can trust AA operations. Just make them put you into partner airlines and be done with it. Google flights are always your friend when trying to figure out the rerouting options. The options they gave you were the most cost-effective for them. I would never take their option unless it makes perfect sense for me.
