Do you think that those people stuck in Denver at DIA should demand refunds? |
Travel Info Not only should all those people stuck at the airport demand refunds,but they should be reimbursed for the inconvenience of having to sleep on the floor of that dirty airport. It is bad enough that the airlines price gouge for the Holiday season,which should be federally regulated but it is not,only to inconvenience you by not allowing people to carry saline solution for your eyes on carry ons,toothepaste,mouthwash,coff... Then they open stores which charge $4.75 for a soda ,or 8.75 or more for a small sandwich which taste like it is dipped in mop bucket water.Why don't they have a hotel right next to the airport where inconvenienced passengers could lodge. There is not sufficent medical staff there for emergencies such as this blizzard in Denver. Of course there will be people saying that it is not their fault that it snowed,but they should have been more prepared for this emergency. They knew the storm was coming ,and DIA did nothing to prepare for it. Travel Tips YES THEY SHOULD DEMAND REFUNDS. It was ridiculous that so many people missed their flights. I had family members who didn't make it in for the holidays b/c of this. In addition I heard on the news that the FAA is actually looking into what happened, because DIA should have been equipped to handle this. Source(s): live in co Other Travel Tips I belive you have answered the question, but since i think you were looking for opinions, if it was me i would be persistent and stubborn with the airline until i get my refund and use another transport mean. give it a few days you well see on news that some lawyer is sueing them Are you serious? Yes, it is an unfortunate thing to be stranded by the weather, but they will get their flights to where ever they were going as soon as the weather lets up....which it has. You act like it's the airlines fault. The people are still going to fly....just at a different time. Also, I'm not sure that there are enough hotel rooms to hold all the stranded people. Also, some airliners are still on the verge of going under....you act like they are rolling in money and creating snowstorms as a way to stick it to the people. Thats what travel insurance is for. I heard from a United rep that they do not give refunds unless they can not get a flight for you (cancellation and you decide to not rebook). Actually, anyone whose flight was cancelled can get a full refund - they just don't get a free flight. They have plenty of hotels nearby that were understandably full. You do realize that an act of nature is not controllable by anyone. DIA was prepared well enough, but you can't expect the government to bail everyone out in every contingency, right? How much more taxes are you willing to pay for DIA to build a hotel *just in case* it snows? |
