Rebooked with another rental co
But they be basically lost the entire day and the appts they had
Well.. better safe and late..
But made me wonder what Airlines typically comp for delays etc?
Don't quite get everything you said here, but...
I'm a little surprised that your car rental went up. Did you put the airline and flight number in your car rental reservation? It can be important to do that. I think rental companies usually honor airline delays as long as that info is in the reservation. If not, I can see where the rental would go up...sometimes people try making their reservation longer just to bump themselves into a weekly rate, for example.
Southwest seems to be pretty good about comping for delays that are caused by their problems (mechanical, crew, etc.). We were given $200 vouchers a year or so ago for I think a 4 hour delay. If its a weather issue, no comp. Other airlines may or may not do that, but I think Southwest is much better than most giving comps out. And unlike credits you may get for booking lower fares, these vouchers are transferable.
