Airline's Generous Compensation for Lost Luggage Leaves Batavia Woman Satisfied

United Airlines is offering 30,000 bonus miles per passenger as compensation for flight cancellations and delays this week, following a series of airline meltdowns. However, the costs incurred by affected travelers, such as accommodation and meals, far exceed the value of the miles. The incident highlights the importance of trip insurance, which has become more expensive due to such disruptions. In comparison, airlines in the UK and Europe provide cash refunds of up to $600 or 600 euros for delays over three hours.
