You missed an international 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 your flight -explain how missing your flight impacted you -clearly state what you would like the airline to do
Dear Sir or Madam,
I would like to claim compensation for the missing
flight
due to
a strike at the first airport
of arrival on my connected flights.
A day ago, I took a flight
from Cairo to Milan and must have boarded another flight
to my destination, Paris. Both flights were provided by your airline, that is
Alitalia. I had a tight connection time
, and the transfer flight
should have been made within two hours. Unfortunately, airport
personnel went on strike, therefore
the aircraft turnaround time
by parking, offboarding and waiting for the airport
apron reached roughly an hour and a half. In no time
I run to the gate of departure through the airport
to meet the check-in time
, but I missed it and was not allowed to proceed with the boarding.
I must notice that due to
this
,incident I missed my concert in Paris, where I had to be a conductor of an orchestra. Moreover
, now I am obliged to pay a penalty for the disrupted concert.
I tried to claim compensation at the airport
, however
, your airline representative was not sure whether I am eligible for it or not and advised me to write you a letter. In this
regard, I would like you to consider my claim.
