You missed a flight due to a problem at the airport. Write a letter to the airline. In your letter •Describe what happened that caused you to miss the flight •Explain how missing your flight affected you •Make it clear what you would like the airline to do.
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing with regard to a
flight
that I missed due to
a mistake by one of your employees.
Two weeks ago, I was due to
catch a flight
to Rome, where I intended to spend four days on holiday. Unfortunately, the attendant at the check-in desk gave me a boarding card for a different flight
, and I did not notice the mistake until I arrived at the departure gate it was too late. however
, I had not expected such
a thing to happen in a reputed airline company.
As a result
of the error, I was not allowed to board the flight
to Rome, and this
caused me great inconvenience. I had to book a new flight
two days after, which mean that I missed two days of my holiday and I had to spend an extra Dhs. 350.
Furthermore
, as the mistake was caused by your company, I hope that you will compensate me for the cost of the additional flight
, as well as
for my taxi fares to and from the airport.
I look forward to receiving your response.
Yours Faithfully,
