Hi everyone, My family and I recently tried to fly from Naples to Manchester. We were refused boarding, evidently because of an error with our booking - our two year old daughter was booked as an 'object' rather than having the seat that a two-year old should have (I accept there may be some things lost in translation…

I am totally confused - booked BA flights to Montreal; returning via JFK premium economy both ways. Return flight was operated on BA behalf by American Airlines. At the last minute,at the gate, on our return we were downgraded to economy. Both BA and AA are passing the buck and neither admitting responsibility for the…

My flight was delayed 20 hours overnight and easyjet state I am not entitled to any compensation due to unforeseen circumstances of bad weather.

Hi all, I had a flight with Virgin Atlantic on the 4th of September, LAX-LHR, it was cancelled and we were put on a flight 5 hours later. Now I know usually this would mean I’m entitled to that £520 (like I was for the flight there which was also cancelled…). I’ve applied for the compensation however they have rejected it…

We were booked on SunExpress XQ584 from Antalya to Bristol on 15 August 2026. I was actually meant to be on the XQ584 the prior day but I spent 45 minutes queueing up to checkin to be told the check in is already closed...but that's mainly my fault! Anyway, while waiting to be board we noticed a lack of any SunExpress…

Regrettably, in September 2025 I signed up to a no-win/no-fee claim through ATC. I ended up receiving compensation directly through Ryanair, to the tune of £216. ATC have now demanded payment of £110 from me, citing that the agreed fees in relation to my claim remain outstanding. It is worth pointing out that, in their…

At the end of last month I paid for a change of flight from Belfast to Edinburgh, costing £45. When I got to the airport the new flight was cancelled (less than an hour before it was due to take off). I was moved to the flight the following day (early afternoon, so nearly 24 hours later) - which was the original flight I…

Back in June, I bought flights from Stansted to carcadonne from Ryanair. The outbound and inbound legs were bought separately on different booking confirmations within 1 hours of each other.
