When my family and I were flying to India from JFK with Emirates they overbooked our evening flight. They asked our family to take a flight 12 hours later (next morning) and they would adjust our connecting flight from Dubai to Hyderabad. They offered to pay for hotel and food for that night. We were okay with that and were about to leave. Since we already checked in some bags with some essentials, we asked to get our bags back for a little, and their manager came back with our bags. She apologized for the inconvenience, and not only upheld the offer of paying for our hotels, but also gave us free travel vouchers from JFK to India that was valid for another year, but since the gap between our two flights was longer (layover) they paid for us to take a tour during our 8 hour layover with a hotel and food. They also covered the cost of our checked bags on the way there and were overall really friendly. My mom always said that when you treat people kindly, they’ll treat you kindly back and this was an amazing act of generosity. We got to go to India for free the year later and that was amazing to see our family. We are lifetime customers of Emirates since then!

I have definitely used the baggage reimbursement negotiation. In my case, they accidentally routed my checked back to Virginia instead of Nevada and I was going to be without it for a week as I was heading out on a backpacking trip. Unfortunately, I had a lot of communal gear for my group and all of the food. As a result, they paid to replace everything, but offered a mix of cash and flight credit that was the same value of my belongings. A good practice is to have a list of the common items you pack for trips and their values. Any value not covered by the airline may be covered with a travel credit card like the Chase Sapphire Reserve. Chase provided an additional amount to cover a few other items that I then had to buy to make up the difference in value. The biggest downside was that I then had to travel with two full backpacks of backpacking gear on my return flight and had to find a place to store all the extra camping equipment! With the overnight delay, this definitely works. I was delayed due to a tornado in Raleigh Durham once and they covered a 1st class upgrade, overnight hotel voucher, food vouchers, and the transfers to and from the airport. The guy before me was shocked because all they gave him was a hotel voucher and I explained that you have to ask for it and the nicer you can be about it all, the more likely the airline will help you without a fuss or extra hurdles like talking to their customer care phone number.

The delay compensation thing is for delays within the airline's control or something I believe so like weather and air traffic control delays don't count. Mechanical problems, staffing problems, etc would be covered though.

Some hacks here depends on the airline and what you paid. For luggage, for example, not all of them have that kind of things if you didn´t pay for the travel insurance. For volunteers, I see this very frequently for flights to Venezuela using copa in holiday season. There are not many airlines that flight to there, so they´re always overbooked, and usually they offer amazing compensation packages (good hotels and all expenses paid) for you to volunteer. The reason of offering these very good deals is also because no one wants to volunteer (All passagers are usually venenzuelan people who wants to spend christmas with their family. No one gives up on that no matter how good the deal looks like), so of course, they make it very appealing.

Read the fine print . The devil is in the details . Jeenie and Erika Kullberg are the heroines we need . 🙂

I had a lot of difficulty claiming damage for luggage. They required a receipt of the luggage purchase before proceeding with compensation. Their justification is you are supposed to keep receipts/records of purchase for 5 years. No receipt... No reimbursement. Even if they damaged your luggage . I ended up throwing away the suitcase and buying a new one.

What I also found out is that sometimes these are the airlines own rules that they stipulate that they have to follow, but they just won't volunteer the information to you. You have to find it and ask for it. But it is surprisingly not something they are forced to do. Sometimes it is, but most times it's not. They set these guidelines for themselves to entice people to fly with them. It's kind of like when you read the fine print they are saying "See, if something goes wrong we take care of you better than the other guys". And they won't back out on their promise but, they will only give them out if you read the fine print and ask for them.

I don’t know if they still do, because I haven’t gone anywhere for years now, but I used to travel several times a year for fun, and I always used to book one way tickets for round trips, especially when flying with WestJet, because they leave from my airport 5 minutes away. And that’s actually kind of how their booking system worked. You did one way, and then you did your return, and they weren’t considered a round trip together. I don’t like being stuck or not being able to change my mind about when I might want to leave, so it’s easier to change the one way return than to try to change the return flight booking portion of your round trip. It’s like always having an “out”, lol. And it is almost always cheaper.

Girl, I love your cheerful ＆ happy vibes!! Thanks for your tips, too!

Another booking tip - as we all know, sometimes you can't get a direct flight between two airports. You can use this to your advantage. When you are booking a direct flight, check if your destination is used as a connection to another airport, then book to that airport with a long layover. You can go to two places for the price of one, or something close to that. Usually, the layover will be short, but you can do an advanced search and set it up yourself. I've been on flights with 40-day layovers. 🙂

One risk you take with hidden city ticketing, is that the airline has no obligation to take you to your connecting airport. They only need to take you to your final destination according to your booking. The airline could reassign your connecting hub, possibly due to factors beyond their control, and you'll ever get to the connecting hub you really intended as your destination.

The price goes up significantly after a few days every time I've tried that, but it's worth a shot.

Here in the Republic of Ireland, if the flight cancels or delays, apparently accordeing to the news over here, you are entitled to be repaid for whatever you booked during the holiday that you missed out on. For example, if you missed a day, the airline would have to pay not only for your accommodation and food and taxi, ect, while you are stuck at the airport, but also the day at the hotel that you would have stayed at, along with anything else you had booked that day, like theme park tickets for example. Which makes a lot on sense BTW. You booked things, and prepaid for them, and presumably can't get that refunded, because of the airline not fulfilling it's side on the contract. Remember, you booking a flight on a plane is you making a contract with the airline that they will fly you to your destination at a certain date and time. If they do not fulfill their side of that agreement, by flying you at that date and time then that's a breech of contract. Again, check the laws in whatever country you are from and don't take what I heard on the news here in Ireland for definite.

My favorite travel tip is if you're flying international and you live near the US-Canada border, always check flights out of airports in both countries. When I flew to Korea a few years ago I flew out of Vancouver and the cost of gas to and from there, parking for 8 days at the airport, and my flight was $150-$200 dollars cheaper than the cost of gas to SeaTac and a flight. This isn't always true, my flight to Germany was cheaper out of SeaTac but it's worth taking the extra few minutes to search both airports.

I recently went on a flight with American to Vancouver through Dallas. Our flight was delayed 3 times which caused us to miss our connecting flight. American paid for our hotel for the night, cabs to and from the airport, and 2 meal vouchers. This happens so much in Dallas that they set up a permanent area to print out the vouchers and book the hotel rooms for people. 😮 Also Dallas failed to load our luggage onto our new flight. We were immediately boarding a 7 night Alaskan cruise when we landed in Vancouver so the baggage desk in Vancouver told us we could file a claim. We boarded the cruise with NO LUGGAGE and did not have a port day for 3 days, so we could only buy clothes on the cruise ship…..which were not cheap even though we didn’t push it. They are reimbursing us for all of it! 🎉

That surprises me from American. We flew them to the Bahamas and both ways each flight was delayed so it took 2 days down and two days back. Our original flights were NOT over nights so this doubled our travel time each way. They offered nothing, rebooked us with connections that we would never be able to make and then blamed whoever booked the original flights, it was a huge cluster. So we had to pay for hotels both ways and meals. They offered us 150.00 voucher and that was after telling me they don’t usually give reimbursement for things like this. Not the first time they have screwed us out of time and money. Will never fly them again.

Always a fun take on things! I think the mom you is more cute, but that’s because I’m getting older. I like the quick takes. Rudeness doesn’t really work for me. I need to forward this! Thx!

Great info. I always like to watch Jeenie’s videos. They’re entertaining and informational.

Thank you for videos like this, as it breaks it down nice and easy to understand 🙂. Any tips out there on extending airline miles that were converted from credit card points with a looming expiration on the transfer miles?

I only needed one-way on KLM. It was more expensive than the round trip, so I just bought the round trip and didn’t use the return trip. This won’t work if you don’t show up for the first half of the trip since a no show for that cancels the other half of the trip as well.

The problem with booking separate tickets (at least that I've found), is that the airline becomes less liable for a cancelled flight as part of a layover, because they've no longer ruined the "whole journey", as the layover country becomes the "home location", and they don't have to provide accommodation. Please correct me if I'm wrong, because that's what I was told

Such great tips, thanks!!! I LOVE YOU!!!

Wow wow wow!!! All of this info is great!!!! Thank you Jeenie!!!!

It would be nice to see a video conforming or debunking these tips. Btw; have a great trip in Korea.

Omg I love Erika! So glad you did this video and I hope you have a great time in Korea ❤

I must be owed 10s of thousands of dollars from United and a few other airlines for the number of times my flight has been delayed (generally) including a time when they held me at the airport in phoenix until 2am then bussed me (about an hour) to a very ordinary hotel where I was supposed to get breakfast but they said I had to be ready to leave by 6 am to return to the airport to try for replacement flights. And my baggage has been delayed 5 or 6 times too, the worst being when they shipped it to me but their courier expected an $80 tip (so I had to pay cos United lost my bag). Airlines are like so many corporations, politicians and employment agencies: knowingly offer misleading promises and hugely failing on delivery.

hoping to fly for the first time soon. thank you for the tips!

*Best airline that did great during a 1 hour delay was China Airlines, they'd wheeled out drinks and snacks in preparation for it at the gate*

I’ve seen some of the airlines videos. I would be very careful generalizing all of these scenarios with every airline, especially Southwest. I have actually watched them turn people down when they ask for hotel vouchers and they don’t give them out. Passengers are just stuck, even when it is the airline’s fault

Yay YVR! :) thanks for the tips

Thanks for the tips good to know.have a fun trip

I so wish I would have known that about the delayed baggage! We were on our honeymoon and all I had was my carry on for 2 whole days and a very limited budget.

I like Erika's videos! Pretty informative. I have yet to try any of them though.

Every country and every carrier has different rules. Some will only cover up to a certain amount - I had my luggage damaged going to Scotland by WestJet (a Canadian airline), and they will only pay up to $100 to repair your suitcase - you have to repair the suitcase and send the receipt in. It’s a pain in the butt.

Yeah, I feel that while all of these are technically true, most of them are probably a lot more of a pain in the butt than shown in the video.

There is Nothing better than a freshly baked Jeenie Weenie video. Keep up the good work.

So wish I had known that about delays. Thanks Jeanie and Erica.

I honestly don’t mind when flights are delayed (within reason). Makes things less hectic.

I knew about compensation for delayed bags en route. Years ago, we were in Singapore en route to...somewhere.... Everyone else whose bags were delayed got a box of chocolates. We asked for compensation and got $200 Cdn each (25ish years ago)

My mom and I arrived on a trip with our luggage delayed for several days and had to buy stuff to wear and use- wish we’d asked to check for reimbursement! (This was years ago.) Great tips- thanks!

@Dragonflyathena - At O'Hara Airport, as I watched out of a window, a baggage handler was (roughly!) filling a cart to get packed into a flight. He flung a suitcase vigorously as the handle came off in his hand. He pitched the handle into the cart and left the suitcase lying alone on the tarmac. NEVER pack anything fragile in check-in bags! Have flight insurance and know your rights. Also, I worked with a woman who dated a baggage handler at Newark Airport. She told me that if the luggage was pricey, they would crack it open to see what they could get.

Flight delays in Canada you can get compensated depending on the reason of delay, ie if it was their fault or not. I got an email about the delay with the reason. I was annoyed enough I looked into it and learned about it and got me and my family our flight reimbursed with the compensation haha. They won't voluntarily tell you this, you have to know it and then do it. It took a while but it was worth it!

Great tips, thank you 😊

Considering how much this is Awesome, can you and Erica make more of these videos Please?

Miss that animated intro I like that very much

a couple years back on SWA I paid for 3 seats for me and my 3 and 6 month old. the flight was delayed and I wasn’t able to get 3 seats together but was able to squeeze into 2 seats🤔I felt very helpless about it and feel like I could’ve been compensated for the trouble but never looked into it. Good to know there are rights😊

Luv your vids girl

I luv ur new intro!!! You should do a mix of this one and your old mini Jennie animation

Apropos: hubby traveled to Nigeria, one checked bag. When he went to claim it, it was ripped open and had tire treads on it. Things were missing. He went to complain. The woman actually asked, “what is the problem?” As hubby held up the bag. No acknowledgement of the damage and no help either. Foreign countries are very different.

Problem is if your airline operates outside the law....like Qatar Airways, that just changes rules when ever it suits them.

Thanks jeenie for the information..Have a nice trip to Korea..😊🥹🙏🏾🖤🔥

i recently found your channel. you look like and remind me of an old friend who used to work for TWA, that's how long ago this was. she had a very similar sense of humor and even facial expressions. we lost contact (my fault) and i've always wondered about her and how her life has gone. you bring her back a little for me. i hope she watches your video' too,, as i'm sure she'd get a really big laugh.

When I've had delayed luggage, they have had to deliver to my specific destination address, even though that address was over an hour away from my airport. File a claim and carry one change of clothes in your carry-on.

Damn I didn't know you can get reimbursed for a damaged bag. My bag was damaged by British Airways when moving back home from Korea, so I lots of stuff, i.e. two large suitcases and a heavy backpack, and moving around with a case with a newly broken wheel was a NIGHTMARE. Like almost undo-able, I was freaking raging at the time because it wasn't an old case and I've never had a suitcase damaged before...

I work airside for KE72. Wish I saw you this day. Love your videos.

Awesome video. Thank you!

I had a friend traveling over the holidays and her flight was cancelled due to inclement weather. They issued her a voucher for the cost of the ticket she had bought, but it was no-where NEAR enough to cover the cost of RE-booking her flight last second over the holidays. I feel sure she could have gotten money for this--does anyone know?

In Canada we have a pretty good passenger bill of rights but one of the things not covered is delay due to weather.
