    Hi Ich

    The answer to your question is it was one through booking all through United Airlines. I will post on US airlines page thank you for the Info.

  • We were delayed over 20 Hours on our flight to Florida in 2008 due to a technical issue.
    Our kids were devastated as they handled it terribly (We had boarded the aircraft got comfy and before they discovered the fault). All the kids were crying when they asked us to leave the aircraft.
    The airline (Monarch) handled the whole thing terribly by taking us off the aircraft and continually telling us they were just waiting on the new part being flown in from wherever, until finally sending us to a crappy hotel overnight where they didn't even have a room big enough for my husband and I and out two small kids so we had to sleep in two rooms.

    We lost a whole day of our holiday never mind the stress of the knock on effect of letting the car rental company and accommodation in Orlando know that we were delayed.

    We were not compensated in any way shape or form apart from a few vouchers for food while we were at Manchester airport.
    I have the flight stat report that confirms the delay but I cant find the booking reference now and the travel agency we bought the flight through is now no longer trading.

    My question is - can we claim without having the booking reference? I really hope so as it really would be Devine retribution for the terrible service and stress we received and would go towards our next holiday.

    Thanks
