    Hi,

    My boyfriend booked flights for himself and I and we were delayed so we are going to claim compensation. As we were booked under the same booking reference do we make 1 claim for both of us or do we have to do it separately? Also does he have to make the claim as he paid for them or can I?

    Joint claim but bf should 'front'. :)

    Knock on effects shouldn't count as ecs and technical issues usually don't. REad the Wallentin judgement, which you will find at the start of the Thomas Crook thread, and then start chasing them

    Would I be right in saying that this judgement refers to cancelled flights rather than delayed?

    delays are regarded as cancelled flights and vice versa

    not long returned from the airport after hearing the unfortunate news that my flight has been postponed by 24hours.

    this is due to a technical fault with the plane.

    just wanted to check that as the delay is by 24 hours, does this still count as a delay or would it be a canceled flight?

    I'm wondering which template i should use on the main site

    thank you.

    Regs define cancellation as the non operation of a flight which was previously planned. So if you return the next day, and the flight number is the same it was delayed. If they give it a different flight number, then you could argue that your original flight was cancelled.

    4ze - might be worth posting on appropriate airline thread as I assume you were not the only person booked on this delayed/cancelled flight and any responses may assist 'others'.

    thanks for the replies.

    i found this over at flyertalk.com


    22) My plane was not cancelled but delayed for 24 hours, am I entitled to compensation?
    This area changed after an appeal case was brought to the European Courts, which ruled that an aircraft that was delayed more than 3 hours was to be treated the same as a cancellation. If you had a delayed flight of this sort from previous years you are now able to claim them from BA, since claims were “stayed” until the appeal was completed on 23 October 2012.

    does this mean i can get the rearranged flight tomorrow and claim for a refund as well as compensation? or do you feel that is pushing my luck? thanks

    Just compensation but you should post in appropriate airline (BA?) thread.

    Exactly why you should post on appropriate thread as if it is not an EU airline (??) then no compensation is payable.
