Compensation for 1 1/2 hours?? I doubt it. It seems a little chinsey to even ask, especially since you missed your original flight, and they accomodated you</font>
Well, according to thier rules if you miss your flight, you can go standby as long as you report to the airport within 2 hours of original departure. So I did that and was on standby for both my flights.

Secondly, according to the same rules if you are involuntarily rebooked and you arrive at your destination within 1 hour you get no compensation but if you arrive within 1-2 hours you are suppose to get $200.

CO admits that it is their mistake (the itenary should not have been cancelled) and that it was an involuntary change on my part.... I am not saying I deserve compensation, I am just wondering if people in similair situaions got compensation or think I should get something? eg - The difference in mileage between CMH-DTW-LAS and CMH-IAH-LAS, booked in F rather than XT, voucher, etc?
