Flight delay compensation, all other non-EU airlines

AdamW85

leylandsunaddict, this was not my understanding from reading the site. I would've just done it direct. Although MSE suggests using it.

So, what do people think is the best way to proceed? I read earlier in this thread that Qatar did provide compensation once CAA got involved.

Thoughts?

You can try CAA, but even if they find in your favour (don't hold your breath for a prompt reply) Qatar will most likely just ignore it as they have no desire to use any powers of enforcement.

Hmmm, ok. Sounds like potentially wasting my time..

have you downloaded and read Vauban's most excellent guide?

JPears, I haven't, could you direct me to it please? I tried clicking your signature but it wouldn't link.

were not allowed to put links in sigs - a silly MSE rule!

I had similar fobbing off from Qatar for a delay MAN to DOH missing connection to Male and had to stay overnight in Doha. Eventually wrote to CAA who upheld my complaint and a week later Qatar u-turned and offered full compensation. Definitely write to the CAA.

I have this same issue with Virgin. I bought a through ticket from Manchester to Miami in January but the 1 stop was in Atlanta ( Delta codeshare with Virgin) we were delayed 7 and a half hours in Atlanta and told that we weren’t entitled to compensation because our delay was in the USA-and by Delta so the EU law didn’t apply. I argued with them that I had a through ticket bought in the UK and I had no control over who Virgin shared with but I had bought a Ticket from them, not Delta . Both air.ines blamed each other and insisted I was not entitled to anything. However since Emirates lost this case I don’t know whether to resurrect this,claim and go via the CAA. Any advice anyone please ?
