LAX-FAT 1:09 1:09 1:09
2 Repo :24 :00 :24
TOTALS 2:35 3:47 3:47
In this case, the cancellation was for a total of 86 minutes. That would bring the original day to 3hrs, 6 minutes. To get to your original gauruntee of 3hrs, 47 minutes it would take an additional 31 minutes. So the cancellation pay would be 31 minutes. You see the problem here? This is NOT the way it used to be. A more extreme example would include a round trip that got cancelled, like a SFO-RDM which credits like 4 hours. Then, it would not matter how much extra you flew or repo'd the entire day, you're still only going to get your original gauruntee. The old interpretation, yes, it was the best. But if you think this new one is as well, wake up and smell the coffee, it's not.
My original guarantee was 3:47, of which I still would have eclipsed if you take out the repos. The policy is for a single flight value unless your entire day is cancelled. If I had flown 3:21 minutes without the two cancellations then I would have received 3:21 plus 86 for the cancelled flights and the 24 for the repos as long as they didn't reflow me onto another round trip (3:21+86+24=5:11). In this case it would come down to the higher of the two trips (cancelled vs. reflow).
What has happened to you?
