As I book via a travel agent, this offer is not really of much use to me. The contact person at AC indirectly blames me for not having obtained an On Board Compensation form (a green form, for those who are familiar). To be honest, I just trusted that AC would make this right, and never pushed for an OBC form, despite having to manually reset the seat every hour of this 8 to 9 hour flight.
I'm hoping to get input as to whether this is a reasonable offer by AC. In my opinion, it is not, but I'd love your guys' opinion. I have been asking for a partial fare refund for this segment of the ticket. Glenn from the AC "Customer Relations, Executive Centre (?)" says that the 20% discount is all that they can provide.
Please also let this be fair warning to those of you booking AC business class. If the physical seat fails, AC does not appear ready to stand by their product. Spending $20,000+ on AC every year appears to have no impact on this.
Thanks,
bawm
So I've always reported it when I noticed it, but was never offered a green form.
I still haven't emailed about my second incident, but I'm sure even the MUC concierge would back up my claim. It was known before the door closed.
That being said, if you're not reporting it on board, you're not helping the next person to sit there. No, it's not your responsibility, but it's still a nice thing to do.
