Am I entitled to some sort of compensation if my airline changes the time of thier flight on me?

[FearoftheNight]

I have a flight that was changed back a few hours and I have a connecting flight which means I will be stuck in the airport for a few more hours and I also have to change some arrangemeats earlier int he day to make it? Am I entitled to anything? Maybe an upgrade?

depends on reason, and your flyer status

if its weather, youre SOL
if its mechanical, or something else, you can try to ask to be protected on an alternate flight (diff carrier even)

generallly, dont expect anything

I'm sure they have a disclaimer/warning, even though that isn't really fair

You might be able to get meal and/or drink vouchers out of it, but that's probably it.

Depends on reason. I think it also depends on the length of delay. I believe anything over 2 hours non-weather related is supposed to be compensated. No idea what kind of compensation that means.

ask for some free peanuts

You're probably not entitled to much, if anything. But call and ask about it nicely. I've had my itinerary changed by a couple airlines before and had a way too long or too short layover. When I called they rescheduled me free of charge to better flights on the same days. (Delta and US Airways, IIRC).

Delay made me miss a connection and the airline just gave me a discount to a hotel. Plus I lost a night at the hotel I was staying at which was way nicer because I used points.
