Forums Other Flight changes and cancellations help Compensation due?

  • 427 posts

    I’m sure I know the answer…but you never know..

    Flight from Basel to lhr was cancelled with more than 14 days notice so no compensation due. Managed to rebook onto Zurich to Lcy on same day but lands 7 hours later which is fine, and I know they owe me a meal with duty of care etc…flight to lcy is now delayed but not by 3 hours. But is obviously more than 3 hours from original flight that I booked. Can I claim? I’m guessing not but worth asking

    Thanks

    Thanks, in the end was a moot point anyway since BA suddenly got the anticipated 2 hr delay down to 6 mins…

    ZRH to LCY 7hrs delay sounds like either

    (1) cancellation of booked flight and actually being put on a different flight) =cancellation ==> claim

    or

    (3) pure 7hrs delay (less likely than (1)… should be claimable
