Opinions on this flight delay case?
Hello, Last week I was due to fly from Naples to Manchester, changing in Hamburg. Both flights were with the same airline, Eurowings. I missed the connection due to the flight leaving 2 hours later.

Flight diverted due to bad weather - 7hr delay
Hi Not sure if I'm on the right board but seemed more appropriate than the main board. Flew with Ryanair yesterday and due to bad cross winds we had two failed landing attempts before being taken to Valencia instead.

The question I have is that they have said this will take anything up to 20 weeks for them to make the payment into my account which seems rather long. Is there a time limit on…
