basicMy flight to Tokyo was supposed to leave at 2 PM but the board says delayed. Do you know how long the delay will be?
我飞东京的航班原定下午2点起飞,但屏幕显示延误了。知道要延误多久吗?
💡 航班延误时第一步是到柜台或用APP查看最新状态,不要只看屏幕。柜台人员能给你更多选项(改签、补偿),APP不一定显示所有选择。
Let me check... Your flight is delayed approximately three hours due to a mechanical issue. The new estimated departure is 5 PM. We apologize for the inconvenience.
我查一下……您的航班因机械问题延误大约三小时。预计新的起飞时间是下午5点。给您带来不便我们深表歉意。
Three hours! Since it's a mechanical issue, am I entitled to a meal voucher or any compensation?
三个小时!既然是机械问题,我有权获得餐券或补偿吗?
💡 机械问题是航空公司的责任(不是天气等不可抗力),所以通常必须提供餐券、改签,长时间延误还要提供酒店。记得主动问——他们不一定主动告诉你。
Since this is a mechanical delay, yes — you're entitled to a $15 meal voucher. If the delay extends beyond four hours, you'll also receive a $20 voucher and we'll arrange hotel accommodation if it goes overnight.
因为是机械延误,是的——您有权获得15美元餐券。如果延误超过四小时,还会有20美元代金券,如果过夜我们会安排酒店。
What if I don't want to wait? Can I get rebooked on a different flight?
如果我不想等呢?能改签到其他航班吗?
Let me check availability. There's a flight at 4:30 through Seoul with a two-hour layover, arriving Tokyo at 11 PM. Or you can wait for your direct flight at 5. Which do you prefer?
我查一下。下午4:30有经首尔转机的,中转两小时,晚上11点到东京。或者等下午5点的直飞。您选哪个?
Claiming More Compensation · 争取更多补偿
intermediateThe delay has been five hours now and they just announced another hour. I have a hotel reservation in Tokyo that I'm going to lose. What are my rights here?
已经延误五个小时了,刚又宣布再等一小时。我在东京的酒店预订要作废了。我有什么权利?
💡 在美国,航空公司对延误的法定补偿不如欧盟(EU261规定延误超3小时可获赔250-600欧元)。但美国航司通常会给meal voucher、酒店和里程补偿——但你需要主动要求。
I completely understand your frustration. For mechanical delays over four hours, you're entitled to meal vouchers, and if it goes overnight, we provide hotel and transportation. I can also offer you frequent flyer miles as a goodwill gesture. Would 10,000 miles help?
我完全理解您的不满。机械原因延误超过四小时,您有权获得餐券;如果过夜,我们提供酒店和交通。我还可以作为善意表示给您常旅客里程。一万里程可以吗?
Can I also get a letter confirming the delay was mechanical? My travel insurance might cover the hotel I'm losing.
能给我一封确认是机械原因延误的证明信吗?我的旅行保险可能赔偿我损失的酒店。
Absolutely. I'll print a delay confirmation letter right now. It'll include the flight number, original departure time, reason for delay, and new departure time. Most insurance companies accept this as documentation.
当然。我现在就打印一封延误确认信。上面会有航班号、原定起飞时间、延误原因和新起飞时间。大多数保险公司接受这个作为凭证。
Thanks. One more thing — I've already eaten at the airport twice today. Can I get a second meal voucher?
谢谢。还有——我今天已经在机场吃了两顿了。能再给一张餐券吗?
Given the length of this delay, absolutely. Here's another $15 voucher. And here's your delay letter. If the delay goes past 8 PM and we can't depart tonight, come back and we'll arrange a hotel for you.
鉴于延误这么久,当然可以。再给您一张15美元餐券。这是您的延误证明信。如果延误到晚上8点以后今晚无法起飞,回来找我们安排酒店。
