wow!! I apologize for you having to go through this ordeal, yes $10 is a kick in the chops quite honestly, it’s amazing how many of us don’t really was the complete “Terms and Conditions” ..not what you receive from your agent but the (actual carrier’s) “T&C” (we/payment, does or does not garrantee the actual arrival at destination) arr or dep, and or can be cancelled at any time without notice, or refund.
LMAO just so you all know,
…and no folks I am not kidding you!

What a horrible start of a trip! I hope you had a really good time after that. I have had delays but nothing like this report on united. Good luck on your next trip which I hope is perfect for you both.

September 2016. American Airlines. Out of Phoenix Az. To Maui. We had to fly for 4 hours in circles to burn off fuel due to a warning light that wouldn’t allow us to fly over water. After we landed back in Phoenix they had sandwiches and soda and water at no charge An hour later we were in the air with no other problems but instead of arriving at 2:00 Hawaii time we got in at 10:00 pm and then had to drive to hotel. Credited us some frequent flyer miles without asking. My biggest question to the Airline is why not get us to LA or San Francisco and have a plane there waiting. It was quite frustrating but a great vacation in the end. Better than total cancellation and then have to go crazy trying to get there. 🌴🍹☀️.

We got delayed last October on a Hawaiian Airline flight for about 12 hours. Initially gave $10 meal tickets,then said they would give $400 vouchers but upped to $800 vouchers.ourvtrip next December is in first class and almost free.a very reasonable settlement.

Back in the early 1960s was on a military MAC flight from Hickham AFB to Moffet Field south of SFO on a Super Constellation. Nonstop, no problems it took eighteen hours!!! One of the longest flights I had ever been on…

Worse, actualy, but it was from Florida to Los Angeles and that flight map looks familiar. Initial flight from Jacksonville to LAX with a stop in Atlanta was cancelled due to weather, we were swithched to a Miami-LA flight and were put on a plane to Miami which flew to Orlando, Tampa, and after a stop in Daytona where I’d originally started, back to Orlando where we were switched to a flight to Houston, terminating there. After spending the remaining three hours of the night on an airport bench, finally left for LAX from Houston at 8 the next morning after starting out 5p the prior day.

Ten dollars a person for that miserable experience? You have to be kidding. And now we know why they have dropped the “Friendly Skies” motto. One more really good reason to always fly Hawaiian.
Beat of Hawaii
Hi Sheila.
Who knows, maybe more compensation is coming. We can only hope so. But as of this weekend, that’s all they had received or been offered.
Aloha.

seriously-you wanted to go home cause your autopilot quit and you were too lazy to fly manually.
so instead-you flew manually in circles and complicated zig-zags for over 4 hours to go home…?
and the normal flight time should have been 5 hours?
WUSSS!
and then united only gave $10 vouchers-never gonna fly united!!!!
Hawaiian woulda rowed the plane to HI and given 100$ vouchers…
