Dear all

I posted on the main forum but just to let you know that I was due to go to court last Thursday and Thomson agreed to settle out of court for a delay from 2010. Thomson agreed 400 euros each (2 of us) and court costs. My ex-husband is a barrister and he did the claim for me and I am happy to email anyone a copy (it quite lengthy).

This was despite Thomson saying it was 'extraordinary' circumstances (it wasn't) and lying over the distance from Manchester to Palma (to try and get the lower amount). My case was put on hold in 2010 but I didn't give up!

Could I have a copy too, please?

Thanks... (and congrats!)

Hi All

Well I've been getting know where with my requests, just got back the usual scripted rubbish letters.

My first post was No.8 back on the 12th Jan, so now we are off to the MCOL route. So I will need some help with this.

Thomson are saying Technical faults are exceptional circumstances which we know is rubbish!

Thanks in advanced.

John.

What help are you looking for?
All you have to do at this point is file your claim via MCOL; you don't have to do anything in anticipation of their defence.
You will, of course, need to know the arguments against the technical faults defence should your case go all the way to court. You can find these in this forum and in the FAQs.

Well done - lets hope there are more of us. Could you please send me a copy. Thanks in advance.

I am currently claiming, on behalf of my Ma & Pa, against Thomson for a 12 hour (:eek:) delay in April 2011 for a trip to Orlando from Manchester.

They have refused the claim, stating a bird hit the engine of the aircraft when it was en route to Manchester Airport and this explains the delay for my parents at the airport. :mad:

From reading some other posts, it appears the consensus that a bird strike is not an extra-ordinary circumstance.

Even if it is though, surely a 12 hour delay isn't justified?

Most recent bird strike documented here > http://avherald.com/h?article=460cae38&opt=1
Actually hundreds of reports but this recent one gives you details of an acceptable turn a round time.

Thanks for that. So a 3 hour delay for the people actually on the bird struck aircraft appears to be a decent time.

As such, the delay shouldn't be any longer for those waiting to use the aircraft on it's next journey as in my case.
