Flight delay compensation

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

Do you HAVE to go through Adjudication Services?
I was recently delayed on a European Flight due to a spurious ‘natural disaster’. The airline in question have refused to pay out citing exceptional circumstances. They have not responded to subsequent emails / letters. My question is do I need to use an adjudication service (and wait the eight weeks etc…) Or could I just…
Delayed and didn't fly
Due to a family bereavement we had to get an immediate flight back to the UK on Easyjet, 2 weeks earlier than the flight that we had already booked and checked-in online (Jet2). That flight (the Jet2 that we had booked) was delayed for 5 hours. Could we still claim compensation for the delay even though we didn't travel on…
Can I claim for Emirates flight delay?
Hi. We have just flown back from the Maldives to Manchester with Emirates. Our first leg of the flight from the Maldives to Dubai was delayed by almost an hour. We only had an hour in total for the connection from Dubai to Manchester. We landed with approx 25 minutes to spare. I brought this to the attention of a flight…
Currently sitting on the Tarmac
At London Heathrow. On a Eurowings flight to Düsseldorf, flight should have left at 12:10, we finally boarded about 1:50 (now an hour ago) and have been told by the captain at least another hour and 15 mins waiting for a take off slot. This will put us over the 3 hour threshold... What compensation am I entitled to, the…

Refused and now ignored by Iberia
Hi all Earlier this year (April 2017) we were scheduled to take a flight from Heathrow to Miami (Via Madrid). We booked the flights with BA but on arriving at Heathrow found that the flight was operated by Iberia.

TAP and EC Regulation 261/2004
Made a claim (using MSE template) to TAP airlines for flight delays via their email address. They ignored it completely. Then I sent a recorded delivery letter to their UK office. They again ignored it completely. That was months ago. Just wondering if that is how they behave to everyone or has anyone had any success using…
Misinformed flight cancelled when it wasn't- can I get compensation?
Hi, We were supposed to fly home from Orlando to Manchester on Monday, which was understandably cancelled due to the hurricane. We were placed on Tuesdays flight instead. When I looked on my app it said flight cancelled despite refreshing it (this appears to be a glitch in the app as despite shutting it down and reopening…
flight cancellation - making alternative arrangement myself
If my flight is cancelled and the alternative flight the airline offered does not suit me (the alternative flight is in four days’ time whereas I need to fly ASAP), do I have the right to claim for compensation against the airline for the cost incurred in making my own alternative arrangement (in addition to the statutory…
