Look, all you can do is ask-- they're already inconveniencing you by extending a long trip by another 3 hours... so maybe they won't upgrade you to first class, but you might get free vouchers for other flights or hotel stays... my friend does this all the time... he says that the first ticket you buy just gets you in the airport, after that you can play lets make a deal. When we flew to Chicago for a hockey game we had an 8:30 am flight out of NY on United, only we made it through security at 6:45am. Well we ended up on a 7:20 am flight with drink vouchers for the plane (don't ask why we were drinking at 7:30 am) and a dinner voucher once we got into Chicago. No arguing, just polite conversation, a little flirting and a letter written after the trip commending the airport personnel.
