    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 ????

    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.
