My confirmation number is GWFN83 and I want to use these monies for a flight to Florida. How do I redeem the funds from this ticket for another? Who do I speak with?

Due to bereavement I was forced to miss one leg of a round trip. They cancled the entire flight including the return portion. With out notice. Then rather than just letting me get on the return leg of the trip charged me the expensive one way. Quite the scam.

I had a cancellation June 20th from MSP to Duluth. The return fare is $460 and the one way is exactly half, or about $230, They offered me a paltry $41. I cannot get any further with this complaint as there are no corporate tel. #'s available.
Can anyone help?

... a flight on Air France to Beirut, Lebanon. However, Delta employees managed to blame us for the mistake. Meanwhile ... bag down. Yesterday my husband receives an e-mail from Delta stating our bag had been located and will be arriving to LAS from DTW on Delta 1219. Rather than have the bag delivered, my husband contacted customer service to say...it might be on the next flight". After calling Delta Customer Service and only being told "...hour home. Oh, but we have a $25 baggage refund (which we won't use).

... hung up. I tentatively rebooked the flight online for the same time the following day. I then called Budget Rental car and explained my situation; that instead of needing an economy car for 4 days I would now only be needing it for 3 days (the car return date and time were unchanged). They said if I did that my car rental cost ... me she could not help me with the rental car, but agreed to refund the cost of the airfare. I don't think a customer should be penalized and have to pay more for a trip if an airline cancels a flight. The very least Delta should have done was ...

Seriously, your customer service lacks any reasonable thought and planning. I am trying to use a refund to book a flight for work next week and getting the complete run around, even when I provide all required documentation that's requested. On top of this, your phone...up on me while trying to go through all the auto-attendant prompts. It is nearly impossible to connect to a real person. Only to finally find out that your refund office is only open 8-5 Eastern time, which is completely ridiculous and fails to give anyone on the west coast adequate time to access anyone, plus it makes it...
