(>24 hours later). I called AA and even working through LAN they couldn't get me home less than 24 hours after the scheduled arrival. I understand that mechanicals happen, and all in all the local AA folks handled things reasonably well (though the buses took forever to show up and they could have just given everyone taxi vouchers). But given that I am getting home 24 hours later than scheduled, I would expect some compensation. Any sense of what would be reasonable? I have platinum status in case that matters.
