Mundane travel thread

If you are late, you claim. There are restrictions.

Compo

Our connecting flight is 50 minutes late. We'd have made it if it was on time anyway. No compensation for me.

Thankfully no missiles. Yet.

Interesting strategy. In over thirty years of extensive business travel I only ended up in a different place to my luggage twice, both in the situation you described so it’s a no from me.

It's an interesting philosophy hoping for delayed to get compensation. The logical extension is hoping for full cancellation so you don't go and get all your money back isn't it?

Flights were £2400 for four. A delay would be £520/person compensation. So for a few hours inconvenience, you get nearly the financial benefit of compensation whilst still going.

So no, cancellation wouldn't be the logical extension.

I'm finding you lot are getting worse at reading/thinking as the years go by and we all get older. This place is going to be wild in ten years time.

So how much delay are you prepared to suffer?

I guess for me it's zero I just want to enjoy my holiday.

In other compensation news, I put in claim for the delay on my Putney to Waterloo journey this morning. The journey time should be 15 minutes. It took 45.

If successful in my claim I will get £1.60.

Hotel at Birmingham airport tonight then off to India tomorrow, via Dubai so am hoping Trump doesn't kickstart a wave of bombing.

I know he doesn't like Birmingham so you never know.

Loaf is a yam yam ain't he. How does one sign up to support this motion?

Just got back from Centre Parcs, that place never ceases to be excellent VFM.

As long as they don't hit South Birmingham I am all in favour of a good bombing
