I’m a too tired to think straight after a long day and flight attendants (super kind) are encouraging me to escalate because apparently it was a known issue and they should have informed me before I was boarded. Flight is full.
Any guidance would be really appreciated. I’m 75K and honestly never bother to complain, but this time after upgrading myself for the first time in over ten years to international J (usually just pay the J fare) I’m annoyed that I’ve burned through a pile of eupgrades, $200 and … yeah, most of you get it.
Flight attendant has recorded the issue but wants me to escalate. Simply, if you were in my shoes what would you do next?
Not sure why they are telling you to 'escalate'? The SD should be filling in an On-Board Compensation form and giving you a little slip that has a case # on it so that you can follow-up when AC doesn't process it in a timely manner.
You can search this thread or the "Deflate-gate" thread for the standard compensation for this, but if memory serves me for a TATL it should be $600 which they give in the form of a voucher.
I had a 'deflate' situation not too long ago (TCON) which resulted in a $300 voucher...after about 3 weeks and no action, I wrote in with my little code and had the voucher the next day.
