Is compensation possible?
About 3 years ago we took a family holiday in Guadeloupe. We flew Air France from London City to PTP via Paris. We chose to go from City instead of Heathrow/Gatwick to avoid an airport transfer in Paris. All went well on the way out and we had a great holiday. On the way back however, French ATC were having one of their regular strikes and we ended up stranded in Paris with no hope of a flight home to the UK for at least a couple of days (Air France reps words at the airport). Rather than go with the hotels in Paris and a few extra days holiday we took the option to make our own way home and claimed back the expenses. Nothing more was claimed or paid.
I am curious though, could I have made a claim for Air France not getting us back from Paris to London?
