<prompt> Human: hope this is on topic for this subredditI was recently travelling to a destination outside of North America and had a connecting flight from Seattle. When I was going to my catch my flight I arrived about 2 hours early, I was stopped at the US Customs in Canada. They told me Ill catch my flight to Seattle and if I dont, they will call the airline and get me on the next flight out, with no charge to me.Lo and behold, they take 3 hours to screen me at customs and Im finally cleared. I tell them they made me miss my flight and they call some number. No one on the other end picks up and they basically tell me to get lost. I leave the customs area and try to find another flight to seattle, and find a Delta airline thats about to close its gate. I ask how much itd cost and they say its 600 for a 45 minute flight to seattle. I tell them my situation and they tell me Alaskan Airlines my original flight will reimburse me. I shell out the 600 so I dont miss my connecting flight in Seattle.Now that Im back, ive been trying to contact Alaska and no one will reply to me have basically told me to get lost as well.Is there anything I can do? How is this legal? If I hadnt paid the extra 600, I wouldve missed my other flight which had cost 1800.Is there anything I can do?  <response>: If you missed the Alaska flight, you shouldve gone the Alaska counter in the first place. They probably wouldve changed your flights completly, probably putting you on a later flight to your original destination maybe on a different airline. You didnt go to the right airline to remedy things. Alaska isnt responsible for Delta telling you the wrong thing.
