My flight was delayed 24 hours (Emirates) in Feb 2008. I used the template to register a claim and received an email back saying they could only go back 6 years. The trouble is I dont have any flight references etc as it was 6 years ago. Do I still have a claim? I am 64 years old and not very computer savvy!!!!

No compensation will be paid as your delay was in excess of 6 years ago.0 -
If the airline has rejected claim then that is the end of the matter.
The option would normally to go to court next but the limit for this is 6 years in England and Wales and 5 years in Scotland so, as your flight was over 6 years ago you just need to move on and forget about it0 -

This point has already been answered by Caz on a separate thread today (as well as many times previously). To say anyone the trouble of typing it out (again) here is the link which explains all:
