Area 77

I was on my way back home yesterday, 11 hour flight from LA to London, when I suffered a somewhat serious health related problem. I got off the plane feeling groggy and was told that British Airways were forbidding me from going on my connecting flight back home to Kuwait because they felt I wasn’t strong enough to take 6 hours of flying. I argued of course and lied by telling them I will miss a wedding if I don’t get on that flight. No use. They booked me on tomorrow’s flight and gave me a 24-hour UK visa so I can spend a night at the Hilton at Heathrow. I don’t know if I argued hard enough but I’m sure if I really pissed them off I would have been on tonight’s flight. I understand their concern but I can’t help but be REALLY pissed! I’ll request compensation by having them upgrade my seat. I do deserve it afterall. The same thing happened about nine months ago but they let me go because maybe they felt my father, who was flying with me, would take care of me on the plane.

Wish me luck on that compensation! I’ll feel so much better if I get it.
