First Choice Airlines Delay 2008
A family member had a flight delayed by 187 minutes on First Choice Airways. This was in 2008 though. It was part of a package holiday from First Choice.

Ryanair false delay data?
Just checked an epic delay on flightstats - on 6th September 2008 we were stuck in the departure lounge at Teesside with a 3 month old and a 2 year old for nine hours, so it's firmly fixed in our memories. The delay was caused by a broken down plane in Spain, with the part being flown from Glasgow to Girona and then the…

I had a 24 hour delay with Sri Lankan airlines in June 09. Ive written to them and they've agreed to pay 600 euros each to me and my OH only problem is they want the ticket numbers which I haven't got.

I claimed from Thomas Cook for an 09 package holiday flight delay. You can only contact via their web contact pages. Initial response was, you have to register complaint at time of holiday.

I emailed customer services and did get a…

Civil aviation authority responses
Has anyone had experience of contacting the CAA? I emailed them on 4/1/13 after I had no joy trying to claim for a delayed flight with LOT Airlines. I received an automated response but heard nothing else. I emailed again 3 weeks later and had the same automated response. It is now 6 weeks since my initial contact and I…

Tried to get compensation under this scheme. After a delay of a number of weeks, Jet2.com declined any refund as flight was ONLY delayed 2 hours 58 minutes. I guess they just got lucky!. Any one else met with a similar experience?
Continental (United Airlines) Compensation
Well I wasn't sure if I was entitled to this as the airline had merged with United and I had heard they had some of the worst customer service around so thought I would never hear anything. Last month I got an email offering me either 600 euro cheque or $1000 travel certificate for the airline, for a late flight in 2008 to…
