Air France just deposited $704 to my US bank account.  That's 600 euros, to which I am entitled because my November flight to Warsaw arrived more than three hours late.  (It left Paris on time, but circled the city and then returned; we were transferred to another plane.)  Most of the passengers only received 250 euros, but they figured mine based on mileage from the US.  Paris was only the connection. 

I paid 60,000 miles plus $261 for the Business Class ticket for both flights.  I got the miles when I applied for a new Chase card and met the minimum-spend requirement.  

I know, this is a tax board, not a travel board, but some of us have clients who don't know their rights when their flights in and around Europe are delayed or canceled.  Because, whoever heard of airline passengers having any rights?  

Not to mention, some people actually pay for tickets when banks are giving them away?
