Just to be sure I am understanding you. . .

American flew you to Jamaica, albeit late because they had to fix a potentially dangerous problem with the plane, but you still got there safely and you still checked into your resort and you still had 4 more days of your vacation. . .

. . . But because you got there a little late, American should basically pay for your entire trip?

WOW!

I could sit here and tell you how stupid and selfish I think it is to be this irate over this, but it seems that several other responders have beaten me to the punch!

So I will leave you with this:

1) you are fortunate enough to live in a country where you CAN fly to Jamaica on vacation if you want to - many people cannot

2) you obviously have enough money to travel or you would not have been able to book the trip for your family

3) you are clearly intelligent because you are capable of using a computer to reach out to a company to tell them of your experience.

With all of these blessings in your life, I am dumbfounded why you felt the need to make such a selfish demand because of an issue that was neither intentional nor avoidable and in the grand scheme of things, was of a relatively minor consequence.

I find it hard to believe that this completely ruined the entire trip.
