Flight delay compensation, all other non-EU airlines

I know of plenty - many of them are in this thread. Folkerts does indeed trump Sanghvi, and I'm not aware that the airlines have successfully argued it doesn't. What is argued by the non-EU carriers, as I understand it, is that where there is no delay within the EU portion of the trip (ie London to Dubai) than a delay outside of the EU (ie Dubai to Tokyo) does not create a right to compensation, even if you have a through ticket with the airline (ie London to Tokyo).

I know that Folkerts should trump Sanghvi, but technically the European Court of Justice is not recognised as being an integral part of the English legal system therefore it is not recognised by the English Courts as a “superior Court of record”.
The Court of Appeal case (Dar Al Arkan-v-Bader) held that under the doctrine of “stare decisis et non quieta movere”, all English Courts below the level of the Court of Appeal, must follow a prior binding English legal precedent even if the English precedent is “per incuriam” to a later decision of the European Court of Justice.
(with thanks to the blog from flightdelays.co.uk from which I have extracted this).
How did people win their case against these precedents?
I don't mind if people message me privately, or post it publicly.

Wow! Total state of shock. Small Planet Air appear to be willing to pay the compensation I claimed for a flight that was delayed in September 2012. I've only been trying for 2 years!

I have an email from them agreeing the E400 pp and asking for bank details. However, I don't know how happy I am in sending bank details. Would I be better off asking for a cheque?

Can anyone help me verify the email as genuine? Anyone had any success with them?

Thanks

I've just been given this information:

[FONT=&quot]As your connecting flight was outside of the EU with a non EU air carrier the connecting flight is not covered by the EU 261/2004 regulation

[/FONT]I thought that if the flight is booked as starting point to the final destination then it didn't matter where in the world the connecting flight was. We flew with Delta.

Hi all,

I've been wondering whether I could claim for a delayed flight/arrival since it happened but I'm not sure whether Emirates are misleading me.

We booked a full ininerary via emirates, although some of our flights were qantas due to codeshare:

Birmingham to Dubai (No delay)
Dubai to Melbourne (3 hour delay, which mean we missed our connecting flight)
Melbourne to Auckland (missed connecting flight and had to wait for next codeshare flight - arrived in AKL over 10 hours late)

I've been told the same as the above comment, which is why I am questioning if I can, in fact claim?

I have been looking through the forum but I'm struggling as it wasn't out first (UK) flight which caused the problem.

Thanks in Advance!

We went through Reading in October 2015
