Hi,
what are your experiences with seriously delayed flights? How many of your trips have been spoiled that way and did you demand any refunds from the airlines? And did you get the refunds?
In 2006 I've made 7 trips using 21 aircraft to Europe, Asia, North and South America. 3 flights were delayed
4 hours each within one year! (Not counting other delays as "tiny" as just 1 or 2 hours.) Of course I will generously publish those airlines that wasted my time so carelessly, here they come:
-
Germanwings (Hamburg-Stockholm, snow --> 4h late)
-
KLM (Montreal-Amsterdam 2h late, missed connecting flight --> 4h late)
-
Way Brasil (Rio-Cologne, unscheduled stopover in Milan to clean aircraft and cater --> 4h late)
Of the ~100 flights I had made before 2006 none was delayed that bad.
Is this normal? I wonder if I can get refunds from those airlines. What are your experiences?
