Flight cancelled on 19th French strike

We are stranded until the 26th Ocober flight cancelled on the 19th Oct . What are our rights ,any experiences ?

Just read the Notice of your rights in the event of flight cancellation . Are we covered ? What do you think?

What about travel insurance that we have is that applicable?

We were stranded at Thalassa for 8 days at easter (great shame).

If you keep VAT receipts for meals you should be able to claim them back from the airline under an EC directive (the number escapes me). If you can get a dodgy VAT receipt for accomodation you should be able to claim that back via the airline as well.

I found a standard claims on the internet that I amended and sent off. (if you are with Ryanair the response times not great).

If you want a copy of the letter PM me with an e-mail address.

We have travel insurance through our bank account and had no trouble claiming for additional car hire and the extra cost for our dog in kennels.

Hope this helps

Hi,

not too sure about your rights but, if you want to get back to the UK earlier, normally you can get a free flight to an alternative airport.

We have had this happen twice with Ryanair and have returned via Dublin, and this week Birmingham which, at least had good connections via train to the North West.

Good Luck
