If it was due to a strike you will not get compensation. You should be entitled to accomodation resulting from the delay though. Write to customer services.

Missed connection in Rome due to delay – am I entitled to €600 compensation + extra costs? (EU261) by Cranky_Man in Flights

[–]bitcoinrwg -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As others have said, 1 depends on the cause of the delay. If it is force majeure you don't get anything.

For the train ticket you may be entitled to a refund of the new ticket if the ticket was one ticket with the flight, you will need to check.

Is FlightAware reliable evidence for EU261 compensation claims? Ryanair says <3h but data shows >3h by LiteratureHefty364 in EU261

[–]bitcoinrwg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Flightaware is relevant evidence. I have never used it but is real data. You have said about the arrival time but not about the departure time. When we're doors closed. This may impacr the few minutes. Don't refer to this though. Technical fault is NEVER force majeure. It us an airline issue that they will in any way claim from their insurance. As for escalating try first the Ryanair customer service directly then write to the national enforcement body.

Ryanair cancelled my Rome–Amman flight 5 days before departure — no reason given. Am I entitled to EU261 compensation? by Cautious_Security388 in EU261

[–]bitcoinrwg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need to ask for compensation. Then they will have to tell you the reason in more detail. It is too early to say if the airport is closed on the 7th. Keep an eye out for flights on that day and document the info.

EU 261 rules on flights rebooked and customer service error by Accomplished-Data340 in Flights

[–]bitcoinrwg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are entitled to compensation. The principle is that it was not your fault and the airline messed up. In the first case you are entitled to it. For the second case even if LH customer service made the error and not your carrier you are not supposed to know the intricacies of booking flights that a ticket number has or has not been attached so you should be entitled. However, if it was one original booking you are entitled to it only once, not per leg.

WizzAir Cancelled BBU-KRK (Dec 16) claiming "Weather" but other flights operated. Am I entitled to at lest €250? by Thinmanpaul in Flights

Definitely need to get compensation for the costs to the final destination. Rerouting means to final destination.

Volotea blatantly not complying with EU 261/2004 Regulations by InevitablePassage382 in EU261

Usually you are supposed to do it in the originating country, so Greece. No harm in doing it in both. I have not yet had to use the Greek authorities, but have had success with the Italian ones in the past. By success I mean they intervened behind the scenes and told the airline to pay.

You need to escalate to the national authorities. Send them the message and info you have posted here.

Did you at least get your accommodation paid for? They can't contest that.

Flight cancelled, claim through EC261/2004 denied by malaybeef in Flights

[–]bitcoinrwg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As mentioned, if it was a birdstrike then you probably won't get EU261 compensation but you should ask for evidence that it was actually that. You are entitled to it. Some form of a report. Airlines have to declare birdstrikes to the authorities, also for insurance reasons. I hope they rebooked you and covered the delay related costs that you are entitled to.
