Hi All, Hopefully someone can provide me with some helpful advice, my travel insurance company said they most likely cannot help me with this problem as it involves a 'connecting flight' and when I approached the airline they said they are not an EU airline nor their airport is part of the EU - OK, here goes...

Flight Delay compensation denied.
I was delayed for 5 1/2 hrs on a flight from Manchester to Cyprus this summer. We boarded the plane on time. The pilot when we first boarded the plane stated it was a computer error. The plane was safe to fly but would use more petrol. He wanted to get the computer fixed so after 15 mins we all got off the plane. We were…

Evidence of Interest Rates
Hello, While the standard interest rate for claims is 8%, I've seen Thomson (amongst others I presume) argue against this, and judges will not always award 8%. Various people on the forum have suggested taking along evidence of the interest rates you would get from a personal loan, in case 8% is not awarded. Can anyone…

How Long to Wait For The CAA?
Hi I submitted my claim to the CAA on the 2nd July following a 24hr delay on a Monarch flight from Sharm to Gatwick in April. I chased after 8 weeks and again after 12 (the original contact from the CAA said to expect to hear nothing for 6 - 8 weeks). In early October I received a response requesting that I make no further…

We were due to fly to Zante at 15.05 and arrive at 20.30, but 10 days before we flew we received our tickets with the flight changed to leave at…

How do i claim to IBERIA AIRLINES
Hi, I was delayed in 2008 on an Iberia Airlines flight to Menorca which was due to fly in evening and then cancelled. We were put up in a hotel and flew the next morning. The same thing happened on our return flight, which meant I missed a day's work. Do I have a claim? Where do I write to as Iberia is not on the list.…

Follow Martin's suggestions, made me £2k
I wrote to Monarch and they rejected my claim. I wrote back pointing out EU case law and they rejected my claim. I wrote to the CAA to appeal and two months later got 4 cheques for £500 each. What a result, thank-you ML!

flight delayed longer than flight stats says
We flew on a long haul honeymoon back in april 2009, we know for a fact we were delayed long enough for the airline to provide us with meal vouchers but it then became a longer delay as all of the facilities were starting to close/had closed in the departure lounge before we boarded. We were the last flight out that night…

Happy new year!
May I wish all the users of this forum peace and prosperity for 2014. Let us hope that the coming year sees the Dawson appeal fail, Huzar upheld, the CAA grow a pair, and the airlines reconsider their counter-productive and unjustified approach to flight delay compensation. (In practice I anticipate only two of these…
