No response from BA when I wrote to them. No information as to why the flight was delayed. I was very late getting home and all we were given was a small bottle of wine. I have been in touch with you before, but have no information for ages as to what is happening.

Urgent. I booked it on Trainpal and scaned directly my passport on APP. I guess right now in the system my first name is CHEN and my last name is HUI. But in fact my first name is HUI and my last name is CHEN. All other information is right.

Flights cancelled enroute, BA refund short $1157.14

On December 7th we departed Reno, NV to fly to Newcastle, UK (connecting through Seattle and Newcastle) a 6 flight itinerary. Upon landing in Seattle we were notified that our next 2 flights were cancelled and the next available flight options were over 33 hours later. We would arrive almost 2 days late. As our trip was only for 4 nights, we selected the full ticket refund option and the staff put us on a flight home since they couldn't get us to our destination. We confirmed with the BA desk staff and the website terms that the flight to Seattle and the flight home would not be subtracted from our refund since Seattle was not our intended destination. The desk staff assured us that BA would take care of those costs. The website states that passengers have a: "Right to reimbursement part(s) of the journey already flown that no longer serve any purpose in relation to the passenger’s original travel plans." Our intended destination was Newcastle, UK, and BA only got us to Seattle, USA (4,555 miles away). Seattle is not in the same country as Newcastle. BA refunded only $1714.88 of the $2872.02 that I had paid for my tickets. They subtracted $1157.14 for our round trip to Seattle's BA desk. They have ignored their website terms and conditions and appears to be no customer service team that will help resolve. It was not our fault that we did not get the cancellation notice until we were in the air on our first flight. We are $1157.14 out of pocket for BA's cancellation.

Neglectful and passive agressive flight attendants

The flight tookoff an hour later (weather) and arrived about 20 minutes late. When they confirmed the late arrival I used the flight attendant button. I wanted to talk to someone as i was in the back of the plane (online checkin wouldn't work so I got a bad seat in-person) and would have about 30 minutes to connect. It took about 6 or 7 tries before someone actually came, Amir. I told Amir "I am concerned that I won't have time for my connection" and he responded with something standard without looking at me and walked away as I began to respond, all I was going to ask was if I could deplane sooner since I had a chance to make my flight if I didn't have to wait for the whole flight to deplane. I wasn't expecting a yes, but I didn't even get to ask or have a real conversation. After a few minutes of hearing the flight attendants laughing and cracking jokes, I requested someone come again to try again and I overheard Amir talking to another flight attendant saying "I explained everything to them and they don't seem to understand". What I didn't understand was why I was playing over $2000 for a flight where the service attendants are giggling and won't have a conversation. I rang one more time and heard them say "watch, I've done this before" and they did a forced restart of my screen that prevented me from using it for the rest of the flight. Never have I experienced such passive aggressive, disrespectful, and unprofessional service on a flight

Newcastle-Larnaca

Economy

We had a connecting flight from NCL to LCA , with 1 hour layover in LHR. Our 1st flight (NCL to LHR) was delayed 10 minutes due to a passenger not showing up, we then landed to LHR and we had to wait 20-30 minutes because they had no stairs for us to get off the plane! How incompetent! We then rushed out and headed our way, we scanned our boarding passes which were showing invalid and confused asked for help which they guided us to next to the desk, only to be told that our seats were cancelled because we were 35 minutes before the flight and not 40 minutes so now we can not enter, mind you that flight (LHR to LCA) was then delayed for 40 minutes. We almost had a panic attack because we thought we will stay in London and the lady at the desk didn’t even cared about us. After a long talk we managed to get her to give us a new ticket so we could get home which was a flight 3 hours later to travel to Athens and then wait another 2 hours to her from ATH to LCA. We were supposed to arrive in Cyprus 17:50 and we landed at 22:00 with no baggage’s as the airlines left them at ATH. So we ended up leaving the airport at 00:30 because of all the work we had to had to put so we could maybe find our bags which we just received yesterday(Tuesday) and we landed 5 days ago. I have never been so disappointed from an airline before we were in the airports for 13 hours on a flight that would have only taken 5-6 hours!

Technical problems

We initially booked our tickets via British Airways with the booking Reference of KRHJO2, flight BA 1614. But our flight was later changed and was operated by American Airlines to ticket Reference CWZWPP and Flight Number AA 134 β€’ Passenger1: Theodosios Zisis β€’ Passenger2: Maria Koutsmani β€’ Flight: Los Angeles Lax to London Heathrow β€’ Flight Number: BA 1614 turnd to AA134 β€’ Date of flight: 2 November 2024, 18:25 β€’ Ticket Reservation: KRHJO2 turned into CWZWPP Our return journey with American Airlines from LAX to Heathrow began as scheduled at 18:25. However, partway through the flight, around 1:00 AM, the captain announced an alarming ventilation issue that necessitated an emergency landing at JFK. Upon landing, we were left in a state of uncertainty for several hours. Despite the considerable disruption to our plans, the airline offered no support or provisions. We were eventually informed that a replacement flight would depart the next morning at 9:25 AM. The entire experience was deeply unsettling and compounded by the lack of assistance from the airline. Our journey was significantly delayed, and we incurred additional expenses and stress as a result. I am seeking compensation for the delay and the hardships we faced due to the airline's failure to provide timely support and adequate information.

Houston-Florence

Economy

Problems at airport

We received a claim denial back in August and submitted the below rebuttal. There is no one to talk to on the phone and this has gone on way too long. I feel that the claim submitted is legitimate and should be approved. There were expenses in the initial request, for meals and phone expense, that would not have been incurred if our flights were on time and we were able to proceed to the connecting flight timely, but British Airways was departing late and arriving late thus causing us to miss our connecting flight. On May 25, 2024 flight BA194 leaving Houston to London departed late which caused us to miss our connecting flight, BA524 to Florence, on May 26. A BA representative put us on flight BA554 to Rome on May 26 before we made it through security in London. This initially caused us to be delayed 8 hours at the London airport, where we had to pay for airport meals and refreshments. BA554 to Rome also had a late departure by nearly an hour, which caused us to miss our connecting flight that BA booked for us, AZ1681 to Florence, our final destination. We were then stranded overnight in Rome with no available flight to our final destination until 3 days later, which we did not approve and did not take this flight. A BA representative we spoke to regarding the last leg of our trip going to Florence did confirm with us that because we did not get on the last flight, which was booked 3 days after our original arrival date, we would receive a refund for this part of our flight. The process would be for us to fill out the compensation form online after we returned home. Given these circumstances, we are seeking compensation for the following items: Per person compensation of 600 EUR for a delay to our final destination, Florence, by more than 24 hours; Meals & refreshments at the airport; Cell phone costs at the airport; and refund for the part of our journey which we did not fly with BA. We paid for a hotel in Florence for the first night that we missed and the cost was not refundable.

Denied a refund following death in family

In April my wife bought 2 tickets for my best friend and his wife to fly from the UK to visit us in South Florida as a surprise for my 60th birthday. Three weeks before they were due to fly my father passed away, resulting in myself flying to the UK for the funeral and to be with my family. My wife requested a refund on the ticket given a family bereavement meant that I would not be at home in South Florida to be part of the surprise birthday visit. British Airways denied this request, as my friends are not related to my father. BA decided that it was best for them to keep the money for the tickets, despite me having to pay for another ticket for myself to fly to the UK.

Under EU passenger rights, I am entitled to compensation because: The delay of flight BA 447 caused me to arrive more than 4 hours late at my final destination. British Airways is responsible for this delay. The distance of my journey exceeds 3,500 kilometers (intercontinental flight). I kindly request that you process the compensation to which I am entitled under Regulation (EC) No. 261/2004. Please respond within 14 days and arrange for the compensation amount to be transferred to my account. I trust that you will handle my claim with due attention.

New York-Zurich

Technical problems

The first flight (JFK-LHR) was delayed by 2h45min (officially, actually departed a little later than 3 hours). This caused us to lose our connecting flight (LHR-ZHR) originally planned for 9h20 on 6.12.2024, and we were rebooked on another flight at 12h45. This flight landed at 15h30, effectively 3h20min later than the previously scheduled 12h10. At the JFK airport, British Airways claimed that the delay was due to the inbound aircraft coming in late. A quick check on flightaware.com proved that actually the aircraft had landed in JFK 8 hours prior. In fact, the captain announced before departure that the delay was actually caused by technical issues with a wing of the aircraft (I believe the left wing).

Weather conditions

At the airport there was very limited information. We were called for boarding and it was at that time we were told there was a delay. You had to go through security at the gate which meant doing that twice as they allowed us to go back to the business lounge and wait there. We arrived back in London at home 0830. It wasn't a massive inconvenience but meant our knock on travel arrangements home were dusrupted and ended up having to try and get home during rush hour so actually got through the door significanly later. BA have already rejected my claim on the basis of weather. Given that it was monsoon season in Singapore, I'm trying to establish a firm basis of exceptional in terms of weather related delays. They advised it was the ground operations at the airport which were told to hold but other flights were departing. They have not made available to me the efforts they made to secure their slot in the proceedings.

My wife and I paid for premium economy seats from LHR to SEA. When we checked in at CDG, we were only given standby tickets from LHR to SEA. At the LHR airport, we were involuntarily downgraded to economy seats. British Airways had oversold the premium economy section. We declined the downgrade as we paid for a premium economy tickets. BA staff offered a premium economy flight from LHR to YUL with economy to YYJ. However that would be 5 1/2 hours in economy instead of the 15 minute flight between SEA and YYJ. We declined that as well. We specifically choose the LHR-SEA route to minimize our time in economy. British Airways did get us a hotel and we agreed to premium economy on flight 53 the next day (Oct 6th). We wound up arriving back at YYJ around 17:00 on Oct 6, a full 20 hours after our original trip was supposed to end. We each wound up missing a day of work.

I boarded the flight at 8:15 a.m. in a pre boarding line due to my fractured foot. By 8:55 we had already de-iced and were waiting to clear the run way. Then we had to de ice again because it took too long but they didn’t have enough de icing stations so we kept losing our spot in the queue. By 3 o’clock we were told we could get off the plane until they had a better idea when we could leave but they didn’t have enough crew to deboard us so we had to wait over an hour and by then we were put back into the queue. We waited almost 8 hrs in the plane on the tarmac before we took off for a one hour flight. We ran out of food and water while being warned that if we get off the plane that would not be assured to have another flight

The airline did not coordinate de-icing procedures in time to depart on time. Having to wait for the de-icing, allowing passenger to deboard and thus waiting for their baggage to be pulled from below and not being prepared for take off causing extended departure times created a continuous loop of these causes, ultimately causing an 8 hour delay.

We got a text at 8:40pm offering a complimentary drinks/food voucher, this was 40 minutes after everyone had gone through security, passport control, etc so we could not go back to collect a voucher from the desk anyway, instead we could only purchase a drink from Starbucks until that to closer. This is the worst experience I’ve had with BA in my time flying with them, no communication at all and when communication was made, it was way past the time for anything to be done.

Successful claim

Our flight got cancelled and they were supposed to put us on another flight but ended up cancelling the second one also so it wasn’t due to weather conditions. We got a new flight 24h later and that one also got cancelled and they also lost our suitcases and when we got them they were both cracked

Problems at airport

My flight to Seville was scheduled on 22nd November at 3.40pm British Airways sent to me an email at 3.15pm to communicated that the flight was cancelled. They suggested a new flight on the 23rd November at 7.25am with a stopover in Madrid and arrivals in Seville at 5pm. I had a wedding in Seville on the 23rd November at 1pm. There was a flight to Seville with British on the 23rd November at 6.45am, I asked them to have this flight, but they just told me that it wasn't possible. At the end because whit they flight suggestion I would have miss the wedding, the reason of my travel to Seville. I did not go, but I have lost all the money for the accommodation reserved in Seville and the outfit bought for the wedding.

Problems at airport

The flight was cancelled, my original ticket was club Europe but BA could only bring me home Sunday, so I had to downgrade to Economy today!! Very unhappy as I’ve lost a lot of money and my flight status. I will also have to pay extra parking at Gatwick long term but don’t have invoice for that yet.

Larnaca-London

Economy

No reason given

I am writing to request assistance in claiming compensation from British Airlines for the distress and financial loss I experienced as a disabled passenger during a significant delay on flight BA0663 from Larnaca international Airport (LCA) to London Heathrow on 20/11/2024. Details of Incident 1. Lack of Assistance: Despite being a disabled passenger with a visible Blue Badge and requesting support, the airline failed to provide any mobility assistance when passengers were escorted off the plane. This left me struggling to navigate the airport independently, causing significant discomfort and stress. 2. Loss of Duty-Free Purchase: During the 15-hour delay, I was informed that I would need to discard the alcohol purchased at Duty-Free as it could not re-enter airspace when I eventually reboarded the flight. This resulted in an unnecessary financial loss directly caused by the delay. Compensation Request I believe I am entitled to compensation under applicable regulations such as EC Regulation 261/2004 and disability rights protections. I seek reimbursement for: β€’ The physical and emotional distress caused by the airline’s failure to provide adequate assistance for disabled passenger. β€’ The financial loss incurred due to the discarded Duty-Free purchase. I kindly request your support in pursuing this claim on my behalf. Please let me know if you require further details or documentation, such as my flight ticket, purchase receipt, or proof of my Blue Badge. Thank you for your assistance, and I look forward to hearing from you soon.
