I am considering taking Monarch airlines to the small claims court and would appreciate some basic guidance. I am lucky and have nver had to go to court before so I am rather naive in these matters.

I spoke to British Airways last night about a refund on a flight that was delayed 24hours (I had to book another flight as I urgently needed to get home) they said I would need to contact my travel agent about a partial refund.

Heathrow T5 opening day?
Hi In 2007 (I think) we were delayed flying back to Heathrow T5 from Paris on the new terminal 5 opening day (chaos!) with BA. Our flight was cancelled and we were put on a different later flight, but got back more than 3 hours late. Is there a chance of a claim here, bearing in mind it probably wasn't BAs fault, but BAA?…
