His one way car rental to Augusta cost $350 .
He called India today to ask about how he was allowed to fly someplace he didn't have a ticket for and to ask for some compensation for the rental car.
He was offered a $100 voucher.
Any advise I could pass on would be appreciated.
I think you are out of luck. It was your error getting on the wrong plane, even though I can understand it somewhat at IAD. You can always write a letter to United and say someone pointed you in the wrong direction, see what you get.
