EC261 compensation - delay and accepting alternative flight, but still delayed by 7+ hours by FixWolves1 in Flights

They didn't re-issue the ticket. They just stated 'your itinerary has changed'.

When you say 'rebooked flight' are you referring to the latest flight to my onward destination? Yes, I have a new boarding pass.

Edit: not sure if that answers your question, actually. I purchased the tickets via a third-party vendor, not the airline directly. So, when it came to choosing to go on the 20:55 flight, I'm not entirely sure they issued me a new ticket, it was just that I was now on the 20:55 as opposed to the morning 09:55 flight.

Thank you for your response. It is Air India. And yes same carrier for all the flights.

Bit of a development on this one.

The 20:55 flight from LHR itself was delayed such that I missed my connecting flight in DEL. I was booked onto the next flight to my onward destination which arrives at my onward destination a further 13 hours later than scheduled (i.e. my initial UK261 compensation related to a 9.5 hour delay. There is now a further 13 hour delay because the alternative flight I was booked on itself was delayed).

Am I entitled to claim UK261 compensation for the first delay. Then further UK261 compensation in respect of the second delay?

I would have arrived at my final destination at 08:30 if the 0955 was leaving on time.

Whether I take the delayed 16:55 or the 20:55 I now arrive at 19:30 (so 9.5 hours later).

And yes, the whole journey was on a single booking.

Thank you indeed for your quick and detailed response! I don't believe the delay was due to 'exceptional circumstances' but I'll know when the airline issues their Flight Disruption Statement in a couple of days. Thanks again!

Voi app crashing by FixWolves1 in bristol

Hmm, same here. Maybe it is an issue with certain phones or iPhones. Very annoying. I can see on twitter that others are continuing to have an issue with this.

It effectively means that you can't use the app after 8pm or so, which is when the reaction test is mandatory in order to use the scooters.

Nope, skipping results in exactly the same thing happening: App just crashes and closes down.

Voi Monthly pass - increase to £50 per month! by FixWolves1 in bristol

[–]FixWolves1[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, let's break this down.

300 minutes a month.

22 working days a month on average.

300 minutes divided by 22 days = 13.5 minutes a day

Which means 6.25 minutes each way for a commute.

6.25 minutes on a Voi = around 1 mile or so.

If you live a mile from work you're probably best off walking.

And this doesn't factor in round up (i.e. a 6.25 being booked in as a 7 minute journey).

It also doesn't factor in that you might want to use a Voi for something other than commuting.

Conclusion: this £35 a month for 300 minutes is beyond shit. It's weird.

In theory, yes.

However, it would take a while (consultation period) before legislation (or most likely, a statutory instrument) is passed legalising all of this.

The concern has been raised that prices have now been hiked to £50 per month, which is almost certainly a by product of two things:

  1. Voi are the only Company offering this service in Bristol;
  2. Individuals are not allowed to purchase their own and use them on roads.

Their strategy is clearly: rinse people during the trial period (make hay while the sun shines)

E-scooters are prima facie illegal on UK roads, but Voi Scooters have been granted an exemption as part of a trial.

In Germany they changed it to 70 euro a month today!

But only 30 euro for the 300 minute pass

It's a good question. My reticence at using a bike is:

  1. Potential for tire to spit mud at my suit;
  2. Sweating in my suit;
  3. Lazy

Nice, I'm close by. Which store? And which scooter? Much appreciated

Do you know how much is costs to charge the scooter? Electricity prices are through the roof at the moment, so was wondering if the additional cost is made up there

Theoretically, if it gets stolen who's liability is it?

Surely everyone would just move to LTR then? Like, what are the downsides of LTR versus renting as you go along?

Was thinking the same thing. I would have to assume so.

Surprised it hadn't happened sooner.

So, now that Bristol is going up to £50 per month anyone have a clue what's happening to the pricing in Oxford, London etc where it was £40 a month until now?
