A few questions if I may. We are at the Clarion airport and only have tee shirts as outer clothing, our bags weren’t unloaded with us!
We are gonna need something more substantial because the flight isn’t until 9pm tomorrow. Can we claim the cost of a taxi into philly and to get a sweater and underwear each? There is nothing around here unless we go back to the airport. Also because the flight isn’t until late tomorrow can we claim for a couple of meals, they only gave us $14 total for breakfast in the morning.
With the vouchers, do the flights have to be TAKEN within a year or BOOKED within a year, the voucher isn’t clear on this.
Go to the nearest mall and keep all receipts. Purchase warm clothes such as a nice pair of pants and essentials like Pajamas, Toilitries (baring in mind the liquid restriction). Perhaps you could purchase another suitcase and use that for your souvenirs and have the airline waive the 2nd bag fee.

Hope this helps.
