Flight delay compensation

If you're claiming compensation for a flight delay and want to discuss it with other MoneySavers, here's the place.

Response time for compensation claim
Hi, does anybody know what the "reasonable amount of time" is for the airline to respond to your compensation claim? United told me originally that they respond within 4 weeks, then it went to 6 weeks, now it is 9 weeks. I got a holding response after 2 weeks, but that surely doesn't count? Sorry if this has been asked a…
Compensation eligibility - BA207 - MUC-LHR
This is regarding a recent delay I suffered when flying from Munich to London (BA0927). The flight was eventually delayed by 24 hours (although in their correspondence with me BA refer to it as cancelled). The plane was suffering from a fault with one of the pressurisation systems which meant it could not take off. After…
Compensation window missed by 7 minutes
Hi all, I can’t really believe this but I recently got back from an easyJet holiday from Santorini. The flight back was delayed by a considerable margin - at least two hours - so I put in a compensation claim. EasyJet replied apologising for the delay but as I was a mere 7 minutes under the threshold for compensation I…

Chaos - Flight moved, then cancelled, then uncancelled but we'd rebooked
It's been ages since I posted but I'm unsure where to start with this....it's a bit of an odd one. We flew Manchester to Bologna, due to return Saturday 15th July with Ryanair. 13th July, very late in the evening Ryanair sent a notification they'd moved our flight to Forli - we had a hire car so thought that's fine (and…
BA, where do I start???
Hi all, I am hoping that some of you will be able to help and let me know our exact rights and what we need to do, here we go….. We (me, the wife and our 15 year old twins) travelled to Heathrow Terminal 5 on Thursday morning and arrived at 07:45 only to find that our 11:00 (BA185) flight to Newark had been cancelled! We…
MSE News: Wizz Air passengers could get £100s back as airline forced to review refund claims
If your Wizz Air flight has been delayed or cancelled in the past six years AND the airline refused to refund you for additional costs incurred, such as replacement flights, you could now get your money back, as the airline's been forced to review previously rejected claims – but you may need to resubmit your complaint.…
CAA not responding
Last year I raised a complaint with my airline regarding a flight that landed more than 3 hours after it was supposed to. They refused to compensate me so I raised this with Resolver, and after supplying all relevant information they said they were escalating it to the CAA. The CAA contacted me in December 2022 to say they…

We had a cancelled flight by Easyjet I( Paris to London) on the June 4 weekend where may 1000s were cancelled. (can't find a thread) . they claimed it was weather so not eligible for compensation but other airline flights were going and it seemed to be more to do with staffing especially it was cancelled only 1/2 hour…

We were sent back to a decent hotel overnight and fed and a transfer to pick us up and the flight left late the following afternoon. We have 4 kids under 10…
Delayed Flight December 2022
I was on an easy jet flight from Malaga to London Gatwick in the middle of December. The snow was forecast the day before! My flight arrived more than three hours late into Malaga, at this point the snow hadn’t arrived, but it was very cold in London Gatwick, necessitating de-icing of the planes. Apparently there were not…
Weather delayed in Canada/US
Good afternoon, Last month I headed from Manchester to Newark, USA via Toronto (with Air Canada/United Airlines) but as soon as I arrived in Canada I saw that the flight had been grounded because of storms. We were initially delayed just a few hours but after another two delays we were told to vacate the airport…
Short notice cancellation: Compensation in addition to re-booked flight?
Hi, EasyJet cancelled my flight a couple of hours before scheduled departure -- and rebooked me on a long circuitous replacement the following day. They also refunded me the £35 difference in fares. My question: Am I also due compensation from them? They said it was due to "circumstances beyond their control", but didn't…
Easyjet Cancellation Vouchers In Leau Of Cash Refund
I thought this would be interesting to anyone who had their Easyjet flights cancelled due to covid, but weren’t offered a cash refund. Easyjet cancelled my flights when the FCO advised against non-essential air travel due to covid. The airline was obliged to offer me a cash refund, but rail roaded me into accepting a…
Extraordinary Circumstances - Can I push back?
Was due on an Easyjet flight back from France to UK in June. This got cancelled 30 minutes before departure. We rebooked ourselves onto the only option given to us on the app, which was another flight 24 hours later (another already scheduled flight, not a replacement) - this was free of charge to book onto this. I managed…
Eurostar delay refund
Hi, my partner had a delay of over an hour when returning from his Rotterdam trip and was told he should receive a refund back. His ticket was £218 and was only offered a £31 voucher as a refund. Surely that can't be right. We thought at least 50% of the ticket price was meant to be offered after an hour delay. Does anyone…

Recently an outward flight was cancelled by Airline A and I was issued a refund on the phone a few hours after getting text en route to airport evening before flight, to inform me of cancellation.
