Firstly, if this post should be in the AA section, I apologise.
Secondly, not contacted AA as after opinions.
My wife had a F flight from Baltimore to PHX with a change of aircraft in DFW. At DFW, the connecting flight was delayed with constant gate changes being updated in the screen in the Admirals Lounge. When it eventually said to board, she went to the relevant gate, only to find it had switched again. Gates were far enough apart that she missed the connecting flight.
AA were good enough to put her on the next flight, but they only had a seat in Y, which she accepted.
That second sector from DFW -> PHX was credited to her QFF account at the discount Y earning rate for SC and FF points.
My thoughts are that the missed flight was not entirely her fault due to late board updates etc.
Should she still have earnt points and SC at the F rate as that is what she paid for? If not, should be be entitled to a partial refund for taking Y over F?
Thoughts and opinions?
Thanks
David
