BA refused my claim citing COVID-19 as reason.
I was due to fly home from Israel on 1st April 2022. When I arrived at the airport the check in board said my flight was cancelled.

Compensation question
Morning All, Was meant to fly to Italy on Friday but due to a general strike in Italy the flight was delayed by 24hrs.

Let's take the case where you are booked on the last flight out of an airport to your destination and the flight is cancelled, for…
How do I find information about a cancelled flight from 2019? I do not have my emails anymore.
In 2019, My husband and I had a flight booked to Salzburg with Ryanair on either Sunday 18th or Sunday 25th August 2019. About a week beforehand, Ryanair cancelled the flight and put us on the flight the previous day (either Saturday 17th or Saturday 24th August 2019). We could not get the extra night in the hotel we had…

Information requested by British Airways
I’ve submitted a claim to BA for compensation for my cancelled flight (cancelled less than 1 week before I was due to travel). I was offered alternative flights but choose not to take them as they didn’t fit in with my plans. In particular, the inbound flight offered was more than 8 hours earlier than the flight I had…
Wrong bank account for compensation British Airways
My husband and I had booked two separate flights to go to Hamburg in April. The reason why we booked separately was because I had vouchers and Avios points, and cannot use them for one booking. We've done this before with BA and it's worked. We usually ask if we can sit together when we check in, so all works out. So when…
P&O Cancellation - Rotterdam To Hull
I know that this is not flight comp but it is travel comp ( and couldn't find a different suitable category).

Compensation: Delay over Two hours for flight of 885 miles?
Hi, apologies if I'm missing something but this page seems to indicate you are eligible for compensation if you're delayed by over 2 hours for a short flight but MSE and other guides seem to say it's got to be more than 3 hours - what am I missing? Forum rules won't let me post links so it would be https and then…
BA using bizarre exchange rate to calculate EU delay compensation ? Ideas ?
Hi all - We had bad delays and a flight cancellation by BA en route to Cairo on 26th Feb. We have FINALLY had an answer to our claim today and the offer is £998.92 or less than £500 for each of the two of us. BY my calculation in todays exchange rate it should be at least £515 a head? Am I making something ? Thank you.
British Airways flight cancelled (again!))
Hi Sorry to sound like a broken record but we were due to fly to Malta on 'that' weekend where BA basically had a meltdown. 10 hours before our flight they sent us an email saying it was cancelled and directed us to select a new flight on their 'manage my booking'. We went to that portal and it offered us no flights!! So I…
