I was recently on an Edinburgh to Heathrow flight that eventually arrived into Heathrow 5 mins after all the public transport had stopped (was a Sunday night and it stopped at midnight - had been due to arrive at 8pm) Passengers were advised before leaving that the responsibility was to get to Heathrow which they did all be it 4 hours late. I had a £80 taxi to my hotel.

Public transport at Heathrow is 24x7. Only the tube and trains stop at midnight or so. You may find:

useful for future reference.

thanks for that - I had been hoping to get the last Hex as staying not far from Paddington. Fortunately I was travelling on business and they reimbursed my cab (guess if I had been paying the Oyster card would have been out and I would have been on the bus!)

Sorry to but in here, but I'm new to the boards & I've got an urgent enquiry about a booked return flight that has just been cancelled because bmi are abandoning the route. Probably very stupid, but I can't find the "start new thread" button from here. Help, please !
Thanks

To start a new thread you need to be in the list of threads rather than reading individual messages.

your agent or bmi should be getting in touch with you re reaccomodating you (looks like they are doing it from 11th Sept)

From your insurance company. You need a letter from the airline confirming the delay.

Airlines are not obliged to pay out for delays per se. Your flight wsn't cancelled, which would have led to a payment, just delayed.

If you complain you may get an ex gratia payment (voucher for a future flight, most probably) but there's no entitlement.

any comments on when a delay becomes a cancellation would be most welcome.
Our flight was, in my opinion cancelled, we where supposed to leave at 14:15 on a wednesday, but eventually got away on a different flight number , at 11 am on Thursday, some 21 hrs later. I believe this to be a cancellation, the airline say" long delay" and hence no compensation?

If it's a different flight number then it's a cancellation
