As it is a non-EU airline and my flight was from a non EU airport to a non-EU destinations; what are my rights and which authority can I approach for a complaint if Etihad in uncooperative? Many thanks for any hints or tips.
Your flight would have needed to have been departing from an EU airport for the EU compensation to apply.
Nothing can be claimed for a non-EU departure on an non-EU airline apart from possibly from your travel insurance0 -

Depends why the flight was cancelled - but if it wasn't for "extraordinary circumstances" you are likely due a fixed aount of compensation - from 250 up to 600 euros per person, depending on how far you flight was. Go onto their website - I think you can make a claim electronically. FAQs on page one of the thread have the detailed background, but BA seem to be one of the few airlines paying up without being silly - so give it a try.0 -
I made a claim on Qantas for a delayed flight. They confirmed that my wife and I were entitled to compensation of 600 euros each, a total of 1200 euros. They said that they would have to pay me in Australian dollars (AUD), not Euros, and pay me via my credit card, which was fine because I get an excellent exchange rate AUD to GBP on my Halifax Clarity credit card. So far so good.
I received AUD$1597 on 1st July 2013 which was 6.47% less than the AUD$1707.47 I was expecting based on the exchange rate on xe.com of 1.42289 AUD to the euro on that day of receipt.
On querying this anomaly Qantas first of all said they used the exchange rate showing on their computer on 1st July 2013. Then they changed their minds and said they used the exchange rate as of the date of the flight 11th February 2012.
My question is, what date is the EU compensation based on? Is it the date of the flight or the date that compensation was made?
If there is no set date in the compensation rules, can the airline decide for themselves which date to use regarding currency conversion?0 -
Hi
I need some advice from the forum regulars. Can a combination of finnair v Lassooy and folkers v Air France ruling be used on this scenario :
Non eu airline flies from uk to non eu destination final destination. There is a connecting flight at a non eu airport where the flight from uk arrived 30mins late but there is overbooking on this connecting flight so denied boarding has happened , next connecting flight is over four hours late so arrival at final destination is 4 hours late.
All flights are with same non eu airline.
Many Thanks0 -

If it was a ticket booked through to the final destination, I think you have a strong case.0 -
Hi all
I was on a flight from LHR to ATQ back in 2010. I was on a Air India flight.
It was a return ticket booked through a travel agent.
The flight to ATQ was okay, only delayed by a hour or so. Three weeks later on the return flight i had a delay at ATQ for over 19 hour on route to LHR.
So leaving the EU was okay, but returning was a big delay. With Air India not being a EU airline, and the delay not happening from the EU,
Can i still make a claim.
Thanks0 -

Hi
We flew home from Bangkok last year with BA and were told that the flight was over sold. They were looking for volunteers and we agreed.
They put us up in a hotel, compensated us £250 each and putuus on the same flight 24 hours later.
Are we entitled to claim extra compensation as the amount they offered uswwas below the guideline amount.
Thanks0 -
No, not if you volunteered to give up your seat.0
