Sky Express based in Athens - any advice?
Hi all, I am trying to make a claim against Sky Express for compensation. I originally reached out to their email address because resolver did not have them on the list of companies. Resolver updated about 8 weeks ago to add Sky Express so I decided to start a file with resolver then too. So far, not a single word from Sky…

Re-routed flight not suitable - what are my options
TAP airlines have cancelled our flight on the 25th Nov 2023 We were scheduled to depart Lisbon at 2010 on the 25th Nov. They have put us on the next available flight, however that doesn't leave until the 26thNov at 07:35am This means we have a 12 hour lay over in Lisbon overnight which isn't ideal. Can we claim overnight…
Cancelled flight - Who is liable travel agent or airline
Hi, I've spent quite a bit of time researching my issue and have been unable to reach a firm conclusion.

I originally booked return flights to…

Aviation ADR rules
I submitted a claim to the Aviation ADR scheme for a 17 hrs 23 mins delay returning to the UK with Turkish Airlines who are signed up to the scheme. My claim has been rejected because my delayed flight did not depart from the UK. I can't see anything on the Aviation ADR site saying they only deal with journeys departing…

BA - Delayed Flight, Missed Connection & Changed Airport
Looking for some guidance on this - we were on a delayed flight from St Lucia back to Glasgow via Gatwick. Booked through a travel agent on a through ticket with same booking number. Our flight from St Lucia was delayed for 3 hours due to a technical issue (that's what we were told) and we suspected this would mean we…
Ryanair not honest about delay reasons
My daughter and myself were coming back from our summer holidays (Zadar, Croatia) back to London in early September. The flight was 4h48m late in arrival. Completed the claim form and after a long-ish wait got a response from Ryanair that: "your fight was delayed due to a bird strike suffered by the operating aircraft,…
British Airways cancelled flight and rebooked
My flight was cancelled with BA (0830 in morning) and I was rebooked onto 1645 one the same day (no discussion just rebooked). 1645 then departed late 1900. Now trying to claim back for cancelled flight but my confirmation on BA booking is no longer showing 0830 flighty to claim against. I am still trying to make the claim…
Changed flight, paid, money taken but booking not made
Hello I had two flights from Turkey, one domestic to Istanbul and a connecting flight where I had to check out and then check back in from Istanbul to Heathrow.

I recently flew with Ryanair for the first time. My return flight was from Fes Saiss Airport to Stansted, scheduled to depart at 1110. At about 1100 we were told there was a slight delay (no reason given). Then we were emailed by Ryanair to say it'll take off at 12.30pm; then 1300; then 1330 and so on. We boarded at approx…
Delayed Vancouver Flight
So we recently had a flight from Vancouver to Madrid via LHR and then the following morning from Madrid to LHR. We were aware that our flight into Vancouver was running a couple of hours late so this meant our connection for the Madrid flight would be tight. About 7 hours prior to the flight we had an email from British…
Questionable Tui Reason
Tui declined compensation for my 5 hour delay saying it was due to the weather. It was slightly foggy on the day but all other flights landed at Leeds, ours was diverted to Manchester. My feeling is that they were overly reluctant to land as the previous week the plane went off the runway in high winds. Who decides if "bad…
