Any chance of some compo??

[Mutley]

Coming back from the Open Golf this morning on the 07.35 from EDI to LCY delayed by 5 hours! any chance of compo?

Plenty of Americas on board, catching connecting flights back to the US, less than impressed, apart from todays delay, many of them had their luggage stuck at LHR for the duration of the weekend.

Yet another PR disaster for our flag carrier and Operations at LHR

Woukd depend on the reason for the delay.

Probably similar reasons to here: https://www.headforpoints.com/forums/topic/ba-how-can-i-check-actual-flight-cancellation-reason/

@mutley check your original flight wasn’t cancelled… this looks like a cancellation more than a delay. The clue is if flight number changes. Makes claim easier.

I would claim as at this short notice it’s lack of crew or lack of aircraft neither of which is exceptional circumstances. BA may try to lie and say ATC but this just doesn’t look like that. Expertflyer or EDI airport may have the reason.

I’d check if it’s cancellation or delay techically, go for canx claim if possible, and absolutely whack a claim in. £220.

I wonder how many of the Americans whose EDI-LON was also cancelled or severely delayed, will know that assuming they were on a connecting ticket back to the US via LON, there’s a good chance their arrival time back in the US means they can put in a £520 compensation claim?
