  Rolling Luggage have emailed me (generic email) saying my 1000 Avios will be awarded within 14 days – this is different to the personal email response to my query (the 5 days promise) – looks like they are on the case

    I’ve not had any email saying this. Still waiting …………

      did you email/ complain to them? I finally got fed up enough to send a 1-minute query, & I think that puts you on a list of people going to get the 1000 Avios…wouldn’t surprise me if they quietly forget anybody who doesn’t complain…

      • Tilly says:

        I did complain. Sent an email I think was over the weekend and got a reply saying they’re looking into it.

  Come on, Raffles: think of those poor Great Ormond St Hospital kids who would love your EUR300 (50% of EUR600) – cancelled & re-routed Virgin flight

  Compensation can be claimed where you are either:

  1) Delayed at your final destination by more than three hours and that delay arises from causes within the carrier’s control (rather than extraordinary circumstances which could not have been avoided by all reasonable measures).

  Or:

  2) Informed of a cancellation less than fourteen days before the planned departure date that arises from causes within the carrier’s control (rather than extraordinary circumstances which could not have been avoided by all reasonable measures), unless you are offered a re-route which allows departure and arrival at your final destination within the following times:

  If you are informed of the cancellation between thirteen and seven days before the scheduled time of departure and are offered re-routing, allowing you to depart no more than two hours before the scheduled time of departure and to reach your final destination less than four hours after the scheduled time of arrival; or

  If you are informed of the cancellation less than seven days before the scheduled time of departure and are offered re-routing, allowing you to depart no more than one hour before the scheduled time of departure and to reach your final destination less than two hours after the scheduled time of arrival.

  The levels of compensation are specified as follows:

  EUR 250 for flights of 1500 km or less

  EUR 400 for flights within the EU of more than 1500 km and for all other flights between 1500km and 3500 km

  EUR 600 for all other flights.

  Compensation is reduced by 50% if any re-routing offered to your final destination results in a scheduled arrival time which does not exceed the scheduled arrival time of the original flight by:

  Two hours for flights of 1500 km or less

  Three hours for all flights within the EU of more than 1500 km and for all other flights between 1500km and 3500 km

  Four hours for all other flights.

  If anyone used the Spanish Groupon avios offer before, how long did it take for your purchased avios to be credited to your Iberia account?

• JScott says:

  Wondering how long it took for the Avios to appear in the Iberia accounts of anyone who has bought through the deal?
  The transaction has tracked through the plustore (which i thought would be the hard part). It does say transactions will appear in Iberia within 15 days (has been 7), just wondered how long on average it takes?
