super short connection in ZRH now so we will miss the dinner reservations we have

thoights on if any comp should be offered?
If you make your ZRH connection, the case is weaker. Generally speaking if the airline makes the connection and it is not a formal stopover, they have made their minimal requirements. A shorter connection usually does not warranty much -- you can submit a complain and might get a token amount of miles.
