notebook-laptopLet's go in 6 steps.
The flight was delayed while traveling in the United States!I think there are times.Let's look at the basic steps to do what to do.
Step 1: Cry
All right.First, emit emotions, anger, frustration, and all.Hold the fist, Washington D.It is a punch in the direction of C.
Step 2: Secure a smartphone battery
Do you have a charging code?Do you have a mobile charger?It is a necessity for such a situation.If the mobile charger does not last long, you have to search for an outlet, but the airport outlet is competing.If you break in an outlet competition, switch to power -saving mode to darken the screen and close the electric power app.
Step 3: Understand your rights and make a phone call
In the United States, delays and cancellation flight compensation are not solid.Since there is no federal rule that airlines need to compensate, the airline may be "sorry".For example, in the case of equipment failure, the airline will be responsible, but worker strikes will not be compensated by force majeure.Even if it is force majeure, the airline will be complaining to SNS such as Twitter.
If you have a line at the counter to talk to an airline person, it is faster to call the airline customer service.Make sure you request a refund.Don't forget to request a meal ticket and a hotel ticket if you can't refund.
It is also important to take a deep breath and make a smile before talking to the airline counter.If you speak gently than to talk about angry, you may be able to put it on another flight for free.However, it is not an airline's obligation to put it on one flight.If you are a mileage member of the airline, you should say that too.There is a possibility that high -grade members will receive help first.Use what you can use.
If there is no one at the counter or if you tweet an angry, call here.American Airlines: 800-433-7300 Delta Airlines: 800-221-1212 Jet Blue Airlines (JET BLUE): 800-538-2583 United Airlines (UNITED AIRLINES): 800-86-831 Shaus)West West Airlines: 800-435-9792 Spirit Airlines: 801-401-2222
Step 4: Call the credit card company
If you don't have a good call to the airline, call the credit card company that purchased the ticket.Especially if you buy it with the airline's credit card, maybe overseas travel insurance has already been incorporated into your plan.Depending on the card, the delay, cancellation flight, luggage loss, and even fatal accidents may be compensated.Let's check the credit card attached plan.If you are traveling a lot, getting a credit card with travel insurance may be less worrisome.
Step 5: Download the airline app
Not all airline apps are the same, but apps may get flight information faster than talking about customer service over the phone.You can change your reservation on the app, so download the app.
Step 6: Drink
I did everything I had to do.You'll be getting a new boarding pass.All you have to do is kill time.There is also a bar at the airport, so let's drink alcohol (if you can't drink it in juice).I'm even more lucky if the airline gives me a meal ticket.Eat and drink what you like.
The delay of the plane may be depressed or frustrating, but if you encounter it in the United States, you may be at a loss.Calm down and try 6 steps.Good Luck!
