Delayed Flight

[dave1948]

Anybody out there know the best way to gain compensation for a delayed flight and what amount is due ?

My holiday flight to Italy was delayed 2.75 hours on the way out and 13.50 hours on its return. I have travel insurance and it was page holiday.

Does the responsibility for payment lie with the travel insurance, the holiday company or charter flight company ? We were put in a hotel overnight by the travel company.

I would welcome advice from someone who knows what my best course of action is

your policy will set out the terms and conditions. I'd guess 2.75 hours will get you a big fat zilch, but the return delay might.

First flight nothing. Return flight about £20 if your lucky.

nothing on the way out, we got a voucher for a sandwich and drink for a 4 hour delay Manchester to Cuba . You were looked after for the longer delay with a hotel room. What was the reason for the long return delay? If it was a safety issue you can't blame anyone,

If eligible you can claim from both your travel insurance and the airline - it's not a question of one or the other.

Interesting question. There was a court case recently whereby Ryanair had to compensate a passenger for a delay. That seemed to set a precedent for other passengers to claim according to circumstances. If a delay is due to the airline ( a technical problem for example) then there is a case for compensation. If the delay is due to something outside the airline`s control such as ATC delays or weather then there is no case to argue. In the light of the Ryanair case, my sister put in a claim to a UK airline that delayed her flight by 3 hours because it "went tech". She received 600 Euros.

Good day sir..
We experienced flight delayed last week with my friends due to technical problem and we don't what to do. We asked the staff of what will happen and how many hours that we will wait. We also asked about the best way to gain compensation for delayed flight but the staff couldn't answer. My father asked me to search about flight compensation I found out this website http://www.flightclaimuk.com/flight-compensation.html and that is the website of FLIGHT CLAIM UK and they help us the best way to gain compensation and what amount is due..

Thank you..
