Late Flight Montegro Airlines - does this qualify for compensation?
A few days ago our Montenegro Airlines flight form Tivat to Gatwick departed 3hrs 15 mins late due to a "minor technical problem". Montenegro is in the Eurozone but not(?) in EU. Are we able to claim compensation for the delay? Many thanks in anticipation.
Flight Cancelled - Advice would be appreciated!!
Hi I was hoping for peoples opinion on whether you feel I should claim for the following issues I had back in 2009. Back in August 2009 a friend and I were due to be flying back from Belfast to Manchester with BMI however on arrival at Belfast Intl Airport we received the news that our flight had been “cancelled”. As a…
Turkish Airlines
Can anyone help me? In June I flew from Mombasa to Istanbul with Turkish Airlines, the flight was delayed which meant I could not get my connecting flight to London. Turkish Airlines did put me up in a hotel for the night but as I finally got to London 19.5 hours later than originally planned I sent in a claim using the…
Airlines laughing all the way to the CAA
Further to recent articles on flight cancellations/ delay I fail to see how the new guidance can help matters. Under unexplained flight safety shortcomings there is a section 26 that basically says any other technical reason is an extraordinary circumstance. This in effect is a catch all get out for the airlines who…
Malaga to Manchester Delays Jet 2
I have recently forwarded two flight delays from Malaga airport to Manchester. Both were with Jet 2 LS810 12/09/2009 - delayed by 4 hours 40minutes LS810 19/10/2008 - delayed by 9 hours 45 minutes. Jet 2 have responded to both claims, by stating all claims must be made within 2 years of the actual flight. My understanding…
Re-routed and delay of arrival...compensation?
Hi, I travel a lot with Air Portugal and nearly always there is a delay on the first of 2 flights to/from my destination resulting in missing the connection, subsequent re-routing and therefore arrival substantially delayed e.g. last trip I arrived about 9 hours later than planned at my destination. The return journey was…
Flight Delay Compensation
I booked flights out of Dubai to Singapore (so EU rules do not apply) however the flight was delayed for just over 4 hours as it made an unschedule stop. I'm not getting much joy with the airline as far as compensation is concerned, they are suggesting I accept their offer of complimentary miles!!! Are they are suggestions?
The Civil Aviation Authority - Why Bother?
So today I received the same unsigned and impersonal email from the CAA that many others have already received. This informs me that following the publication of new guidelines on what constitute extraordinary circumstances (guidelines which, in my view, clearly contradict European law) they have referred my case back to…
Change of flight times without notification- missed flights
Hi Myself and three others had flights booked to travel to Thailand with Swiss however they changed their flight times (moving them forward by around 6 hrs) and failed to notify us. After missing the flight Swiss arranged for two of us to fly 2 days later and for the other 2 to fly 4 days later. My travel insurance say it…
Settlement before Hearing...fees, rates...
A couple of questions about settling out of Court. The airline are paying the EUROS 250 amount in £ based on the exchange rate on the date of the flight. Is that right? They will pay the court issue fee but no interest on the EUROS 250. Is this the standard practice? Ta
Thomas Cook Flight Delay September 2010 Santorini to Manchester
Having had my claim from Thomas Cook, for September 2010 Santorini to Manchester UK 5 hour delay, rejected due to plane breaking down "these situations can be compared to the maintenance of your own car"; on 1st August 2013 I persevered and forwarded the Air Passenger Rights EU Complaint Form to the Greek Authority and…

Indirect flights - second leg delayed
I wonder if anyone has any advice regarding flights that are indirect where the second leg is delayed/cancelled? In 2012, we had a flight with Etihad from London to Bangkok, which had a short stop at Abu Dhabi to refuel. Cutting a long story short, the second leg of the flight was cancelled and we therefore arrived in…
Virgin Atlantic delayed flight VS006 Feb 2012
Has anyone tried to claim for the severely delayed flight Miami-LHR on Feb 4 2012? I have been fobbed off with a letter stating that this had been cleared through the courts with Virgin Atlantic not being liable due to "extraordinary circumstances". If you have pursued this please let me know. Thanks.
