Compensation for nasty seating arrangements?
Hi, We recently flew back from the states and to cut a long story short, someone had vomited in the seat on the previous flight.

Airline not operating anymore
Is there a way to still claim compensation if an airline is no longer operating? Im not sure if they have actually gone bust or just stopped operating.

Unusual problem
