Emrates only agreed to reimburse the taxi costs and said that the flight was delayed as an impact of a medical emergency which counts as an extraodinary circumstance. This is not correct, as our flight had no medical emergency.

We had to purchase another ticket with another Airline, and were only able to get to our final destination 2 and a half days later. The airline didn't inform us AT all. We only saw the boards at the airport once we got to the boarding gate to say that flights were cancelled. The airline provided no care at all. There were no staff at any British airways information stalls, or at the boarding gates. We missed work for 2 days.

The crew did not offload my baggage and left without me. I was forced to stay over in the US and book an entirely new fight as they counted me as a 'no-show', even though they had accepted and not off-loaded my bag.
