I know the Brits spell things differently, but I still think you mean "wasted" and not "waisted".

How are you out $102? Didn't you get a refund? Or, are you referring to the cost of the first trip? I am not sure what you expected from AA. AA isn't going to give you BA points for not flying. Didn't AA offer you another routing to get to SJO due to your first flying being so delayed?
