The flight I'm on was advertised as having power outlets, but it looks like these ones have been programmed to turn themselves off as soon as I plug anything into them. So now I cannot do the work I had planned on doing on this flight.
"Win" based on vibes, includes a decent settlement, a refund after a demand letter with no need for an actual claim, etc.
Update 2025-10-29 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): For a refund to count as "winning":
Must be more than 50% of the ticket price
Must be real money (not vouchers/discounts, as vouchers often don't work)
Update 2025-11-03 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): To count as "winning," the creator must come out positive financially after all expenses (including legal fees). Note: Canada small claims court usually awards costs to the winner, but not always.

@ImaPerson Let's say more than 50%. Must be real money, vouchers are worth much less since they often don't work at all.
@IsaacKing Do you need to win more money than you spend on legal fees? (Does a pyrrhic victory count?)
@Quroe Hmm, yes. Need to come out positive financially after all is said and done. (Canada small claims court usually awards costs to the winner, but not always.)
