BA 197 Flight Delayed: Compensation

If your flight BA 197 London to Houston was delayed, you may be entitled to compensation for a flight delay, depending on the circumstances. Regulation EC 261/2004 is a European Union law that gives passengers the right to compensation for flight delay inconvenience and lost time.

The law does not provide compensation for minor delays less than 3 hours. So to be entitled to make a valid compensation claim, your flight BA 197 must arrive in Houston at least 3 hours late. The distance between London and Houston is the main determining factor for compensation calculation for your flight BA 197.

Tip: Houston is not your final destination, the amount of compensation must be calculated based on the distance between Houston and your ultimate final destination if both flights are booked under the same reservation.

Our technology allows you to check your eligibility for flight BA 197 compensation and determine the proper amount of compensation in real time due from British Airways. Make sure you don't miss out on your compensation claim, use our free flight checker.

Flight BA 197 Cancelled: Claim a Refund

British Airways is responsible to refund the price of flight ticket along with any additional out of pocket expenses incurred by the passenger as a result of flight BA 197 cancellation. If you had to rebook an alternative flight at your cost, British Airways shall repay any such costs and pay for food and temporary hotel stay.

Make sure you properly track your expenses and keep all your receipts and let our professional team handle your complaint with British Airways. Airlines take our complaints more seriously than those filed by air passengers who don’t have strong legal support.

Avoid accepting airline vouchers in lieu of a ticket refund, as vouchers typically have a lot of limitations and a short validity period without option of extension. Airlines try really hard to force passengers to accept vouchers, because British Airways knows that the majority of passengers will never redeem vouchers, which will expire unused.
