The pilot on the {eventual|ultimate} {flight|air travel} from Rome to {London|Greater london} {announced|revealed} that there {had|had actually} been {a catalogue|a brochure} of {issues|problems|concerns} that {caused|triggered} the {overall|general|total} {delay|hold-up}. {A third|A 3rd} {aircraft|airplane} was then dispatched {but|however} it too was {delayed|postponed} as {several|a number of|numerous} {passengers|travelers} {decided|chose} to {abandon|desert} their {journeys|trips} and the off-loading then {caused|triggered} {additional|extra|added} {delay|hold-up}.|While it {may|might} be {tempting|appealing} to cover all the {excruciating|agonizing|unbearable} {ramifications|implications} of your {delay|hold-up} or cancellation, it’s {best|finest} to keep your statement {succinct|concise} and {stick to|stay with|adhere to} the {facts|truths|realities}. In Betsy’s case, {each person|everyone} in her {party|celebration} was {delayed|postponed} for X hours (total of the {overnight|over night} {delay|hold-up} + 6 hours) at Barcelona, on {an international|a worldwide|a global} {flight|air travel} of over 3500 km {departing|leaving} from an EU member {country|nation}, and the arrival was over 3 hours, so {each person|everyone} is due 600 EUR in {compensation|payment}. I was {somewhat|rather} heartened by the experience of jcs27, {in that|because} he {actually|really|in fact} did {finally|lastly} get the {compensation|payment} he was owed {even though|although|despite the fact that} the {process|procedure} {wasn’t|had not been} {quick|fast}. Hi, I {am in|remain in} the {final stages|lasts} of my claim with United for {a flight|an air travel} on {May|Might} 3, 2013.|In {confirming|verifying|validating} its {interpretation|analysis} of EU law, the court {reiterated|restated|repeated|stated} that {passengers|travelers} {delayed|postponed} {could|might} suffer {similar|comparable} {inconvenience|hassle|trouble} to those on cancelled {flights|air travels} and {therefore|for that reason} {should|ought to|must|need to} be {similarly|likewise} {recompensed|reimbursed}. They will {usually|typically|normally|generally} be fobbed off with {vouchers|coupons} for a future {flight|air travel}, when they are entitled to {proper|appropriate|correct} {compensation|payment}. He {urged|advised|prompted} {airlines|airline companies} to be more open with {information|info|details} about {delays|hold-ups}, and singled out Ryanair as one of the most {difficult|challenging|tough|hard} {companies|business} to {deal with|handle}. Mr Veldkamp’s {comments|remarks} followed {a ruling|a judgment} {this week|today} at the European Court of Justice {confirming|verifying|validating} that {passengers|travelers} are entitled to cash {compensation|payment} for long {delays|hold-ups}, unless those {delays|hold-ups} are {caused by|dued to} {extraordinary|remarkable|amazing} {circumstances|situations|scenarios|conditions}”.|By the time they got on their {flight|air travel} they were so {dog|canine|pet dog} tired they snoozed for {most of|the majority of} the {journey|trip}, while the {eldest|oldest} {boy|kid|child} (6) {thankfully|fortunately|luckily|the good news is} kept the youngest {amused|entertained} for {the majority of|most of} the {journey|trip}. A story that I {am sure|make sure|make certain} {has|has actually} been {repeated|duplicated} {many times|often times}, {however|nevertheless} I feel sure {many|numerous} of those 200 odd {passengers|travelers} on that {flight|air travel} have {just|simply} let the matter drop.
