Meridian - flight cancellation
On 24 November 2012 I purchased a return ticket LGW to Florence, Italy departing 27 May 2013. This flight was cancelled but I was not notified of the cancellation.

Denied boarding on Air Canada flight from US
Hi I realise that 99.9% of compensation claims discussed here are based on EU law. I just wonder if anyone has successfully claimed under US 14 CFR 250 after being denied boarding in the US.

Anyone else dealing with them?. As part…
