Flight Delay Compensation new EU regs

[michael_JCWS]

Hi All,

I've just come back from a weeks skiing with friends in Austria. On the way back the plane was delayed by 24hours and 10 minutes don't ask bit of a nightmare.

Anyway, the airline and tour company seem to want to fob us off with no compensation apart from the meal vouchers. I'm sure I remember hearing something about new EU regulations that came in at the end of feb, that meant the airline was liable for compensation ?

Does anyone know anything about this, or has goen through this

Cheers

Michael

there was something, but have you checked your HOUSE insurance or travel insurance? surely you didnt go skiing without travel insurance?
