Jet2 refusing compensation
Hi, I'm looking for a bit of advice regarding compensation and flight delays with Jet2. On 11/06/24 we were delayed 4 hours 30 mins on our return flight from Almeria to Birmingham.

Delay claim to original airline or replacement.
I had a look at other posts but couldn’t see this situation. My wife’s parents booked a flight from their home city in the US to Heathrow (with a connection in the US). This was booked with American Airlines. The first leg of the return journey was on a BA flight that got cancelled 24 hrs in advance. The email that told…
Ryanair claim for cancellation or delay?
Hi, I had a very delayed journey and can’t work out which part(s) I can claim for. I had an 8:15 - 11pm flight booked LON Stansted to Berlin on a Friday.

Compensation on rescheduling by the airline...?
Hi, I would appreciate some clarification on the rules here please... If an airline makes a "scheduled" change to a flight at short notice (under 14 days), that results in a delay from the original arrival time of more than 3 hours (let's assume the trip here is longer than 3,500km), is compensation due? Or is an airline…
RyanAir not paying expenses after diversion
Hi there, I'm wondering if someone might be able to help. Last September I took a flight from Glasgow to Bologna via Charleroi for a trip to Parma. On landing we were suddenly informed that we were in Forli Airport rather than Bologna. There had been no mention and I only realised I was there when my girlfriend called to…
Can I claim? Confused by rules.
Whilst in Turin this week, my return flight to Gatwick was cancelled by British Airways with 27 hours’ notice due to “operational constraints.” BA offered me a substitute flight home but this ran from Milan to Heathrow, and left 2h15m earlier than the original flight. Both the cancelled and replacement flights were just…

Who do I claim from - British Airways or Aer Lingus? Both are saying it's not them
Looking for some advice on which is the correct company to claim from? Both are denying it's not them. Booked a flight through British Airways from Dublin to Manchester.

Easyjet Customer care? What care?
As someone who is a frequent flyer, I am certainly noticing how flights now are becoming less reliable than a few years ago.

Query regarding Compensation for Cancelled Flight with EasyJet
I was due to fly to Portugal on 03.04.23, the evening before I received a text telling me the flight had been cancelled due to easyJet staff being on strike.

Paphos return flight delay.
Hi, I was on holiday in Cyprus Paphos 13th - 20th of July. On the way out there was a delay due to air traffic control. Fair enough, it wasn't long, roughly an hour or so.
