FAQ's to flight compensation queries

Thomson claims older than 2 years?
So what moves have been made for Thomson to start paying off folk who have had claims stayed for their two year Montreal nonsense?

delay compensation with mixed airlines
I booked a flight to Norfolk Virginia via NYC through a travel agent. The transatlantic leg was with Virgin and the internal US flight with Delta. The Delta flight arrived 10 minutes late, which meant that I missed the transatlantic flight. The question is, who do I claim from; the travel agent, Delta or Virgin??

What if Tour Operator Changed Airline?
I'm afraid the advice does not properly cover my case - at least not explicitly. We Booked a holiday to Crete with Olympic flying from Birmingham to Heraklion in May 2011.
