My flight from PHX to DCA through MEM this afternoon was delayed by 2 hours which would have made me miss the connection from MEM. Hence I asked to be put on the red-eye tonight through DTW tomorrow morning and that is delayed too making me miss that flight from DTW. So finally I have asked to be put on the flight tomorrow morning. I was told by the CSR that any compensation claims would have to be made only at the airport. What would be an appropriat compensation for this delay by over 17 hours?

NWA could not get me out on any other flight on any other airline today.
