I gave up and am currently onboard Amtrak to the destination, and I’ll arrive home $390 poorer and 6 1/2 hours later (this was my choice).
But since AA didn’t load enough fuel, any compensation?
Thanks.
Why did you choose to pay extra money to arrive 6.5hr late instead of letting AA get you there 5hr late? Or am I misunderstanding this?
I would definitely write in and ask if they will give you anything.
