Flight delay and cancellation compensation, Thomas Cook ONLY

JPears

If you are sure your flight was delayed by 12 hours and know all the details etc then send an NBA, politely request evidence of their claims (since they will need this at court) and if no joy then issue court papers ( or go to NWNF firm)
They may capitulate at NBA stage but unlikely.
A SAR under Data Protection only applied to your own personal data the company hold on you, as an individual ie bookings, correspondance etc.

Engine manufacturer’s forensic report

AAIB Bulletin No 12/2013, page 18 refers

The failure of the HP turbine blade in this incident was caused by high cycle fatigue

propagation due to surface damage as a result of Type 2 Sulphidation corrosion. During

examination of the remains of the blade, to determine the cause of its failure, unidentified

deposits were found on its surfaces. There was concern that these deposits may have

been volcanic in origin, in particular from the 2010 eruption of Eyjafjallajökull in Iceland, so

additional forensic analysis was carried out. That work was completed in August 2014 and

did not identify compounds typically associated with volcanic activity. However, although

an encounter with volcanic gaseous sulphur cannot be discounted it is concluded that the

deposits probably are an accumulation of atmospheric dirt and pollutant

Bloody hell - and they are still defending? Are they educationally subnormal?

Interesting? Only in that the journalist concerned obviously has no idea since all the points made about reg 261/2004 are totally incorrect.
Where do they get these "journalists"?
Oh well it is the Dail Mail I suppose.....

I'm guessing TC must be snowed under with claims as they do not appear to have found the time to reply to my notice of issue. Oh well request for judgement in the post...

Success story ...

I used the form on the martin Lewis website and submitted a claim for compensation.

I had my flight number and holiday reference number from a holiday in 2012 but couldn't remember how long I was delayed just it was a long time over night in Tunisia. Not fun!

I got the response via email to state my claim met the requirements and to expect a response within 28 Days. I had to chase the company up but they contacted me today offering £610 holiday vouchers. Obviously I called them and said I am eligible for money not vouchers and been told to expect the funds to appear within 28days in my bank.

I want to say thanks for everyone posting on these forums as without other people's experiences and advice I wouldn't of even attempted to claim. :j

My question now is how much should i be looking at as compo, my flight was from Manchester to Antalya,distance 3120km, delay time 6hr + and on the date of my flight 13 Sept 2010 the rate was 1.2028GBP to 1 Euro. I want to be ready in case they fob me off , also I have seen mentions of interest-8%

I was on the phone with Weightmans to discuss my total, I said "I am entitled to 8% interest" she just accepted that and I got it.
