American Airlines Offered Just $25 After Screaming Child Kept Business Class Passengers Awake For 9.5 Hours

Pointify is tracking this devaluation for the points-and-miles community.

An American Airlines business class passenger says a screaming child kept him awake for 9.5 hours after he paid $1,800 per person to upgrade, and American offered just a $25 travel credit. The incident raises the obvious debate: children have just as much right to premium cabins as anyone else, but if an airline chooses to compensate a ruined overnight business class experience, $25 feels more insulting than helpful.
