    Most definitely, this is not an EC. Staff go sick on a daily basis.
  • I was on this flight as well Scottish13 and was just going to post the same query. There were 6 of us travelling including my 5 year old and 2 year old so do I put in a claim for us all in one letter as we booked as 2 separate parties?
  • Hey i had a flight with Air France back in 2011, it was from Heathrow via paris to Sao Paulo.

    The first flight was delayed and lost the second one (from Paris), resulting in my taking another flight and being in destination over 10 hours late.

    I made a claim with the airline, yet all they did back then was offering me a £75 voucher. Also i wasn't given anything by Air France during my wait in Paris. Also my suitcase was delayed over 4 days with my suit for the weeding i was attending.

    Sounds after reading the article in MSE that i've got a solid case for the €600, however i want to know which way to proceed in my case. Should i just reach our to the airline via their web form or should i rather send them a letter using the template provided in the site?

    Thanks in advance.

    I have a delayed flight that I had booked, and paid, via Continental. The actual flight was operated by Virgin.

    Who is liable pleas - Continental (now United) or Virgin. United are saying I should claim to Virgin - is that the correct situation please??

    Hi derekbr
    How did you get in touch with [FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Continental ? Did you do it through their website, fax or phone? [/FONT]
    I have done it through the web site but have received an email saying "A ticket number beginning with 016 or 005 is required to complete your
    request" and not sure where to look for it, or have I done it wrong?
