If you have been subject to a long flight delay, leaving you unsure and confused about what exactly you need to do then do not worry. As long as the date of the flight delay was no longer than six years then you are within your rights to claim compensation through UK courts. The steps that follow on from EU Flight Delays are very straightforward. In order to make a Compensation Claim for Delayed Flights (whether the delay was due to a cancellation, re-route or overbooking) you firstly need to distinguish if this is your first claim, or whether you have already submitted a claim against an airline that is currently on hold. If you want to submit a compensation claim then you will need to contact the flight operator (not the company that you booked with), as the airline will be fully responsible for any flight delay or cancellation and so there would be no point contacting the firm that took the booking. In order to file a complaint you will need to complete a claim letter or fill in an online claim form that will be sent directly to the airline. Bear in mind that your claim will probably be ignored or rejected because airlines are renowned for using every trick in the book to avoid EU Flight Delay Compensation Claims. The airlines often put claims on hold leaving them pending. If your claim was put on hold because of this and the airline has failed to reopen your case then you may have to repeat the process by contacting the airline again (this time including your complaint reference number or any details about the previous complaint).
To get the ball rolling when claiming Compensation for Flight Delays can be quite lengthy and there is no exact time frame to say how long the claim should take. Normally it depends on the airline. Some are better than others at responding to compensation claims. If you have not had a response from the airline after 28 days (one calendar month) then the CAA (Civil Aviation Authorities) advise you to chase the airline for a reply. The airlines may consider themselves as safe behind the wall of paperwork and administration when in actual fact they are in the wrong.
EC Regulation 261/2004 was introduced in February 2005, it acts as the air passenger regulation protecting all passengers when claiming compensation. This ruling entitles passengers to the compensation that they deserve.
