Emirates compensation Release/ Discharge Agreement
Hi All, After a lengthy battle with Emirates to claim EUR600 compensation for a delayed arrival due to a missed connection, they have finally agreed to pay following the Supreme Court decision recently.

List of delayed flight claims for the same flight
I am getting close to a court date with Thomas Cook. I know they have paid out already for someone that was on the same flight and even have the court ruling for that case.

Flight diverted due to bad weather - 7hr delay
Hi Not sure if I'm on the right board but seemed more appropriate than the main board. Flew with Ryanair yesterday and due to bad cross winds we had two failed landing attempts before being taken to Valencia instead.

Flight delay - how long for the airline to pay
I was recently delayed over 5 hrs on a recent trip with small plant airlines and they have agreed to pay the compensation for this which is great.

Hotel compensation due to cancelled flight?
EasyJet cancelled our flight from Bristol to Tenerife on 1.3.18 because of snow - other flights were still operating that day. We hadn't left for the airport & we subsequently rebooked our flight at no extra charge - no quibble with EasyJet. Our hotel's cancellation policy was "non-refundable" - they refused to refund or…

We were due to travel Manchester - Newark - Chicago - Bozeman with United Airlines.
