Easyjet cancellation followed by delay - can I claim anything?

Goldust

Hi,

I was due to fly back from Hamburg to Manchester on Thursday 23rd July with Easyjet. This was cancelled I think due to French Air Traffic Control strikes.

Easyjet sent me a text and I was able to move to the Friday flight at 19:10. I tried to get a hotel booked with them too using their website but it kept counting down and then timing out while I waited in the queue. They eventually sent me an email at 20:30 local time to say they'd found me a hotel but as I'd been without accommodation all day I had no choice but to already book somewhere else.

When it came to the 19:10 flight on the Friday this was delayed departure until 23:25. The airport was closed for 30 minutes prior to the original departure time due to weather which I guess doesn't help my case here.

So I appreciate I've got little chance of getting compensated for my hotel booking as they did eventually book me one but it was too late for me to cancel the one I was already in and not worth it.

Do I have any cause for a claim for anything else? I guess the weather delay means probably not but by the time I landed in Manchester I had to get a taxi home as the last train home had already departed.

Is it worth doing anything or am I going to get fobbed off? Any advice most welcome
