Getting compensation was a battle of wits, but after a court judgment today airline companies' reasons are running out. After being rescheduled onto a later flight which too was delayed by 90 minutes, we lastly came to Orlando at 1 clock in the early morning, about 5 hours and 15 minutes behind our initial scheduled time. We lastly came to Heathrow over 20 hours later than scheduled with our air travel from Miami to Heathrow (rearranged via British Airways) likewise postponed by 23 minutes. As an outcome of the delay getting back, we sustained added expenses for food and additional airport parking charges. You are proper that as American Airlines is not an EU based airline you can just think about EU261 rules for the outside air travel.

When it comes to the luggage you would normally submit receipts for products you have to buy as a result of the bag being delayed as payment per se is not liable. The good news is that as long as you had actually bought your ticket as a through ticket and the hold-up was not casued due to weather or other such 'amazing conditions' then you must have the ability to make a claim as you arrived delayed at your final destination on your journey. Recent cases around technical delays in the UK courts influence all flights running from the UK, so I would return to them and cite the recent Jet2 vs Huzar case as being reasonable for them to now pay the EU261 payment.

The level of payment depends on the length of your flight and the timings of the alternative air travel you are provided: You can just claim delay compensation if the ticket was a through ticket i.e. London to Philippines via Kuwait where you were connecting AND if the reaon for the delay was within the airline company's control. A delay on the onward air travel if it was a stopever would just be elgigible for payment if the carrier had been an EU one, as in this case you were not flying from an EU airport. The factor for the delay can be determined and after that your claim either paid or rejected.

I was questioning if I can make a claim for an air travel with Thomas Cook that was delayed for over 22 hours on the 25th of July 2009 due to a technical issue the flight was from Glasgow to Sanford Orlando. You can apply for payment if the delay was due to scenarios that are not classified as extraordinary as the air travel left from an EU airport when you know how long. Unfortunately, you can just claim payment under the EU261 rules within a six-year time limit. Frustratingly for you, this time has only just passed however your airline is no longer bound to pay you payment.

On our go back to the airport we were told that the parts for the air travel had actually been at the airport before we had even left for the hotels and had actually been replaced. On our arrival we were furnished with a letter from TC claiming an unanticipated operationally considerable defect which required rectification prior to further travel". Our initial claim was rejected as being because of unseen" technical difficulties - would we now be entitled to compensation offered the most current judgments. Emirates are not covered by any of the EU261 laws on compensation unless the air travels is departing from an EU country, which in this case it woulnd't be.

3. They mention that as the first air travel was only 84 minutes late, confessing that that made us miss our linking air travel, does not get the 3 hour delay payment although it resulted in 30 hour delay reaching final destination. There were 5 of us on the journey and we have actually persisted with our claim and received 3 compensation rejections up until now.

We are under the understanding that an air travel originating in the UK is covered by the legislation even if the connection is outside the EU as well as the delay to final location is eventually the concern. If you reserved a through ticket (ie one ticket from Manchester to Seychelles) and the hold-up had not been caused by remarkable situations flight delay compensation no win no fee (exactly what reasons have Emirates provided you for the hold-up?), you need to have a case. As Rues airport closes at 9pm we needed to be returned to our vacation hotel for a meal then transferred to Barcelona airport for an air travel house.
