Since complaints about problems during travel are a common reason for people to come to FT, this thread is meant as a quick reference to the threads that are in high demand about how to deal with current issues, or obtain compensation for said problems.

Please review this list and post in the appropriate thread; please do not start new threads on these topics. If you have more than one question, please make posts in each thread that is relevant. For instance, if AC lost your bags on one flight, and you�d like to know about compensation for a very lengthy delay on a flight (maybe even the same one where they lost your bags), please post about your baggage in the baggage thread, and post about delay compensation in the appropriate compensation thread.
