Hi Lady London, this is the first time I’ve ever had to go via a different route so I really aren’t sure – which is the better option in your opinion?

Up to you. On that date of travel with Omicron new and raging, if the facts are as they.appear I think BA may just get away with it.

In general if a claim is open and shut correct under the law then MCOL every time. As MCOL judge judges based on the law.

CEDR is riskier as some adjudicators do make perverse decisions. CEDR doesn’t have to only consider the law, they can decide the case based on their view of a reasonable fair result. So if you’re looking for a favour or you think your case is about what’s reasonable and fair and not just supported by the law you could do CEDR.

MCOL has fees although reasonable if your claim is not huge and you claim them back ao when you win you get them back from the other side as well as what you winning youe case gets you. Or if they settle pre-hearing you make sure youe fees are paid within the offered settlement too.

Some people seem to have gone CEDR because their claim is large to avoid any fees even though the law is clearly on their side. With a good case I wouldn’t take that risk I’d go MCOL.
