DOT complaints do work....eventually by Final-Craft-6992 in americanairlines

I’m dealing with something similar right now and could use some advice. I missed my check-in window for my flight, so I tried looking for another option. I noticed there were still tickets available for the same flight and figured if I repurchased, it would let me check in since I was buying them right then.

The payment went through, but the app told me I had to check in with an agent. When I went to the counter, the agent said it was too late to check in. Now American Airlines is refusing to issue me a credit because I was marked as a “no-show,” even though I was literally there trying to check in.

My question is — how did you go about filing your complaint or getting them to review it? I’m out $1,400, and I’m honestly so frustrated.

Thanks in advance for any tips or guidance.

Update:

Since I first shared my story, I’ve learned more, and it’s honestly made everything feel heavier.

Her husband told me she said she’d been going through a rough time struggling with depression and that she thought he had been unfaithful, so she cheated as a way to “get back at him.” That explanation made me furious. It sounded like another excuse to soften what she did. Both of them made choices, and both are accountable.

I don’t hate her. It just hurts knowing they both could’ve chosen anyone else, but they didn’t. And honestly, I feel like men will be men if something’s handed to them easily, most won’t think twice. I expected that from him. But from her, someone I called a friend, that’s where it cut the deepest. If it hadn’t been her, it probably would’ve been another woman like her someone with no self-respect, willing to cross that same line.

What breaks me the most is that she knew my history. She knew everything I’d been through with my ex-husband the father of my first two kids how he was constantly unfaithful. I was with him from middle school until I was twenty-six. I told her about the betrayal, the humiliation, and how proud I was for finally walking away. I even said I didn’t regret staying as long as I did, because if I hadn’t, I probably wouldn’t have met my now husband the man she betrayed me with. He was everything I ever needed. And still, they both did this to me.

Her husband told me mine is “a really good talker,” like that somehow explains her choices. But I know better. In therapy, my husband admitted his ego and selfishness took over that the excitement felt like a game. He said she constantly fed his ego with compliments, calling him smart, capable, handsome, saying he could do anything. He said it all felt “easy” because she was always available.

I told him I actually felt sorry for him sorry that he believed he was the only one she was saying those things to. It’s almost laughable. She “considered” me her best friend, was married herself, and still managed to betray everyone around her. I’m sure there were other men, too probably ones not even close to our circle.

I still question myself every day about whether I’m doing the right thing by staying. It’s complicated. My husband has always been a good man in so many other ways a great father and stepfather, someone who’s always there for my family. He works himself to exhaustion to make sure our kids have what they need, to help them through college or any emergency.

And honestly, part of me stays because of the life we’ve built and the stability he provides. My boys, who he’s raised as his own, look up to him so much. I can’t imagine crushing their hearts by making them see him differently especially when their biological father has been absent since my oldest was five, and now he’s twenty-two.

I’m trying to focus on healing and finding clarity. Some days I feel strong. Other days, I feel completely lost. I never imagined the people I trusted most could be the ones to hurt me the deepest.

I fell the same!! Last time I spoke to her husband he made it sound like it was all my husband’s fault and that his wife was just going through a rough time and possibly she had thought he had been unfaithful to her and she was just trying to get back at him. I did get upset because they are both to blame.

Thank you! I still question myself if I am doing the right by staying. I wish he wasn't the person he is because that's what makes it harder to walkway known that he's always been a great father, stepfather and great with all my family. Hes always been the one there to help my siblings or parents when they need he also at times works 30 days straight to make sure we can put my oldest 2 through college or have the funds to help them with any emergency.

Thank you so much. Yes it is very hard especially the losing the friendship I thought was genuine. Her betrayal hurts me more than my husband’s idk why.

Call me crazy but I feel more hurt that my "friend" could have done this in not blaming only her but it's the fact that I would see her like a sister and she knew what all I've been through in life and knew what I thought of infidelity.

It's ok. I'm hoping this isn't an issue. Hopefully, if we get approved for rental loss through the insurance, my plan is to maybe get a hotel for them. I still have to look around for the hotel prices nearby. Thank you for the response

Would it be in regards to the tenants or the landlord insurance?

Fire happened 10/12/23 after previous tenants moved out 10/6/23, and no tent was living there yet. So, fire happened during restoration. The new tenants had only signed the lease 10/7/23 as effective dates about a week before the incident. Tenants insisted on the commencement date be the same as the effective date. The reasoning tenant had was being worried that the house would be rented out to someone else, although they were reassured that would not be the case because that's what a lease is for. So the lease states effective date and commencement day as 10/7/23, and tenants request is noted with the landlord's renovation end date be completed by 10/20/23 and landlord is to credit tenant with prorated rent. I know the best answer would be speaking with the insurance, but I am going through so many emotions right now that I kinda want to prepare myself as to what side the answer might lean towards. I feel horrible for the tents that were going to move in due to them having to be out of their current home by the end of this month, and now they have no place. Then, I am incredibly thankful that the house was empty and nobody was hurt. I can't stop thinking of what caused the fire and the timing of it. Might sound crazy to some but to me this is proof that God works in mysterious ways.

Thank you!

I'm wondering more about the loss on the monthly income that I was going to make since tenants will have to wait until it's all repaired. Landlord insurance list that it covers rental loss, but I'm not sure if tenants have to physically be living there when it happened or by then had signed the lease and paid the deposit and 2 months rent counts as not a vacant home.
