    So the flight was scheduled for 12:00. They kept announcing that it was delayed to 1:00, 2:00, and then at 2:55 they stopped announcing new delays. The flight ended up boarding at 3:30, but because they didn’t announce the delay every customer service rep said that I wasn’t entitled to compensation.

      Why does it matter whether they announced it or not, if the flight took off more than 3 and a half hours after its scheduled departure, is that not more than a 3 hour delay by definition?

        I bet the agent had a, “What are you going to do about it?” attitude.

        It is, but after spending like 5 hours arguing with different customer service reps about it I decided that it wasn’t worth my time. The company went out of business later anyways.

      You guys got a small claims court up there? It takes a ton of your own time but I would do it out of spite.
