Seat was apparently wiped but vomit was around edges and in cracks. FA brings a blanket for seat and one for very wet floor. Plaintiff ended up sick for a few days after flight. Pax disgusted and wants to complain.

I have never experienced this or anything like this so I don't know. I suggested some miles or money. Then I was asked how much would be appropriate and fair. I said "I don't know, but I have a forum that might could help with this". So here you go, what are your thoughts?
