I wonder if anyone can help.
My nephew went to visit his parents in America 23rd December, they live in South Carolina so there's not a direct flight. To begin with the flight from Heathrow was delayed by 5 hours, so he missed his connecting flight they put him up in a hotel and was put on the morning flight which again was delayed by 3 hours. He just made it in time for the rad trip to Florida. He put in a claim for compensation and waited two weeks for a response, now he is waiting for further news. You can't ring them its all done via e-mail. Anyone have any suggestion.

Hi Kim,
The first thing to do is read Vaubans guide to flight compensation, its full of usefull information and links.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/w6hmpy5ysxpck6k/Vauban%27s%20Guide%20to%20Claiming%20Flight%20Delay%20Compensation.pdf?dl=0
Following that they will probably have to issue an NBA/LBA but a lot depends on the reason for the delay.
Good luck.Please read Vaubans superb guide. To find it Google and then download 'vaubans guide'.0 -
