Delayed 9 hours LIR-ATL - compensation??
Due to a mechanical problem, we were delayed nine hours from LIR - ATL. As a result, our 8am departure departed at 5pm, and we missed our connection to Peru.
Our "tight" plans were to visit Peru for six days, traveling business on an award ticket.
Due to the delay, we arrived 24 hours late and lost our first night of prepaid hotel at the Sheraton Lima, as well as our flights to Cusco the next day. LAN was willing to rebook for a fee, but we lost our hotel reservation in Cusco due to our no show. So, we decided to spend the five days visiting various museums and closer sites, and try again next year.
Should I ask for compensation of some sort? And if so, what?
Thanks for any input.
