American Airlines Gives Away Your Seat If They Think You’ll Be Late—Then Denies Compensation When You’re Not – View from the Wing

An American Airlines passenger showed up at the airport on time. Their flight took off on time and landed on time. They made it to their connecting gate – but the airline told them that because of a “delay” they wouldn’t be allowed to board. Their seat was given to someone else. And they were forced to add 7 hours onto their trip, flying to Dallas via Moline, Illinois.
