Compensation for delayed flights Discussion Area

Big thanks for the template letter. My wife and I were delayed back on 18/12/2011. We were due to depart Barbados for Birmingham and experienced a 27 hour delay. To be fair we were put up in a very nice hotel overnight and food and refreshments were all provided.

Reading the forum and using the templates we were successful in getting £934.72 back from Thomsons. Yes it took a while but was worth the wait.

hi

About 3 or 4 years ago we went to Cyprus for a wedding, both hotel and flight was booked through a travel agent. On the return journey at the airport we were delayed for 4 hours plus. we got word that the airline had went bust and we were transferred to nearby hotels and flew back home the next day. Would i be entitled to compensation?

No.

Following your advice I claimed compensation for a flight diversion to Cyprus while on the way to Luxor. The delay was in excess of 8 hours. The claim was originally rejected by TUI on the grounds of being over the time limit. Following the recent ruling I appealed their decision and on Saturday received a cheque for £901.35! We are off on a cruise in a couple of weeks so that's the onboard spending money sorted!

I have been rejected by Flybe under EC Regulation
261/2004 for a flight in April 2006 that was delayed for 5.5 hours.

The CAA say they can't help either as it is over 6 years ago.

Your thoughts would be appreciated.

they have rejected your claim so the next step would be to go to court. You cannot go to court as the flight was over 6 years ago
nothing you can do apart from forget about it
even if the claim was valid I am not aware of any airline that would pay up after the 6 year mark as they know you can do absolutely nothing about it

We was delayed 24 hours on a Thomas Cook Holiday cuba to Manchester. I followed your instruction and have been sent a holiday voucher for £930.00. Can I insist on cash instead of voucher?
