    I presume they will have some way of checking whether your claims are valid or not? I know my wife and I will both have flown dozens of times on BA and/or Virgin in that time, but not exactly when.

  • thanks for this, we went to Florida November 2004 and spent a fortune so getting a little back will be nice. I have registered and will keep you updated on how it goes.

    thank again

  • The judgement was in an American Court.

    "Long haul flights"-is it only to USA or as in my case I flew return to St Lucia within the time scale specified.

    Am I covered ????
  • Flew to Vegas twice in this time so hopefully will get some moolah back, to put towards the next trip!
    Thanks Martin

    The website given for registration to claim (www.airpassengerrefund.co.uk) states:

    "For transatlantic and other long haul flights (over 7 hours) from the U.K."

    I did the same in Dec 04 - travelled on my maiden name so that is the name I put down on the compensation form to enable them to prove I took the flight. I actually booked for 5 of us and have listed all for my address as I was the one who made and paid for the flights.

    Wonder if BA or Virgin will give me a free flight to Florida instead - guess not!!
  • Thanks for the address. Sadly, most of my flights to the states were in the months just before August (Feb and April). But, I do have 2 flights to and from the states that qualifies. Yay!:T
  • My wife and I flewto the States twice in this time, both with BA. It was an integral part of a tour package. Is the refund due to us or will it be available to the Tour Company? Answers on the back of a twenty pound note please.
