The flight was cancelled after we checked in.
British Airways claimed the disruption was not their fault, so no refund or compensation was forthcoming. End of.
My travel insurance company paid out just £60…….WTF?
NATS said they were immune by virtue of a clause in the Transport Act 2000
Well pissed off. And screwed.
No compensation sounds reasonable as it's not in BA's control but I find it difficult to believe no refund is due. /offtopic
