I opted for the shinkansen.
Since my arrival was significantly delayed, I can file a request for Trip Delay reimbursement with my insurance. I initially contacted Japan Airlines and requested for the Official Confirmation Letter of Delay from them. They informed me that since the ticket is booked with Cathay, they will not be able to give me one.
So I contacted Cathay, however, since it is not a Cathay flight (not a codeshare too) they will not be able to give me one. I also forwarded to them what Japan Airlines told me, but they did not reply to me anymore.
Can someone please advise me who should I pursue this request with?
Thank you in advance!
JL as the operating carrier would know of and thus be able to provide a certification.
However, most travel insurance carriers check this data through their own sources and no longer require an "official" letter as they did in the past. Are you certain that your carrier will require one? Have you been asked for it?
If so, you will have to push JL to issue it.
In the future, you can always screenshot the flight status page on the operating carrier's website, but that has to be done relatively immediately.
