Thanks.
You did extremely well to get an extra $70.
No airline (or business) pays consequential loses. You made the choice to book separate tickets, so the risk was 100% yours. Did you claim on your travel insurance? A less risk adverse person would have flown the day before to the airport of the international flight.
