Compensation for Cancelled or Delayed British Airways Flights

Did you have a British Airways flight cancelled, a long delay, or problems with your British Airways ticket? If so, you may well be entitled to British Airways compensation under European legislation EC 261/2004 (which continues to apply to flights from the EU). British Airways, the UK's national carrier and a member of the oneworld alliance, operates from its London Heathrow and London Gatwick hubs to over 200 destinations on all continents. If your British Airways flight arrived more than 3 hours late, was cancelled, or you were denied boarding, you can claim compensation of up to €600.
