Reply To: EU261 or not bother?

Totally agree AJA. Happy to seek compensation and recompense when due, but non legitimate claims dilute worthier claims.

Several people deplaned last night rather than wait it out, this didn’t help as pilot could not reconfirm a slot until baggage offloaded. Tried to explain to several passengers that by aborting thier journey that they may loose BA’s duty of care and rerouting. One passenger offloading and shouting odds at crew who tried hard to look after passengers, particularly deserves to find themselves stuck and out of pocket!

B lounge comfortably busy and chilled this morning.

But personally I wouldn’t bother as I think it’s bad form to waste BA’s time on what is more than likely to be a negative result and clearly was weather related.

BA doesn’t like delaying aircraft any more than you do as a passenger. It screws up so many things, not least for the cabin crew, who must also be as frustrated as you were at the delay.
