Flight delay compensation, all other non-EU airlines

Faldinio - exactly what you would do in any other situation when someone owes you £1,000. Remind them strongly and give them 7 days to pay .... if no payment write saying you will take them to court after 14 days have elapsed (NBA) ...... if no payment after 14 days complete money claim on-line and await court date although I doubt you will ever need to go to court. Remember to keep copies of everything and remember to add any court costs to demands/settlements if incurred.

Our holiday to New York was booked through British Airways but the flight was operated by American Airlines. Our flight home from JFK to Manchester was cancelled. We were given an alternative flight to Heathrow and another to Manchester. We arrived at Manchester 6 hours late. Are we entitled to compensation given that this was an American Airline?

In a word, no.
Your flight was a non-EU carrier, out of a non- EU country = no compensation.
For future reference, try to get flights from an EU carrier, rather than codeshare non EU carrier when coming back to EU.

AA have been doing this quite a lot at Manchester recently. Many flights have been cancelled.

Not 100% sure but it's beginning to look like it may be happening to save them $$$ by consolidating flights via LHR.

We await further examples and details.

Hi,I have put in a claim for compensation from United Airlines for a flight from Glasgow to Fort Lauderdale via Newark.
I used resolver.The first reply said not entitled to compo as it was the flight from Newark to Fll that was delayed but I wondered if I should get it as this was all booked as one ticket.
Our flight from Newark to Fll was delayed for 3.5 hrs.
We have been offered $100 e ticket each as a final gesture from them.

I wonder if this case will bring legal clarity to the situation around the OP's claim though. As I understand it, both of the cases going before the Court of Appeal involve flights where there was at least some delay to the initial (EU) leg of the flight. This won't address the problem of where the delay occurs entirely on a second leg, with a Non-European airline outside the EU. (And, as I understand it, good NWNF lawyers won't take these cases on, because they don't think the Regulation applies).)

Thanks for your replies guys.
Vauban I thought the same as you but just wondered if anyone had any luck with a case like this.
United Airlines have said the same.
I would have gone with BA myself but it was booked as part of a cruise booking and I had to let them choose to get a good price.
Worth a try.

Hi,
Due to a mechanical fault on a plane, we missed a connecting flight and therefore a day of our holiday. We have submitted a claim to Qatar via their online form but we have heard nothing. Not even an acknowledgement of our claim.
Does anyone have experience of how long Qatar take to respond on such matters?
Thanks!
