Passenger vs British Airways: Legal Help Required

Have you been abused by British Airways?

Modern air travel is stressful enough without the abuse that some airlines inflict on passengers. If you are a legitimate victim of airline abuse and reasonable attempts at redress have been ignored or refused by the airline, I encourage you to submit a complaint via the CEDR to send a clear message to the airline that this behaviour will not be tolerated. The process is free if you are successful or £25 if you are unsuccessful. Please let me know about your success stories!

Legal Advice

If you need legal help, I haven't used Bott & Co Solicitors personally but they have some good advice on their website about claiming compensation from airlines and have a no-win no-fee no-risk guarantee.

Passenger vs British Airways: Legal Help Required

Details: Created: Wednesday, 10 December 2014 21:00

We have recently been contacted by a passenger who is taking legal action against British Airways and needs help.

If other BA passengers can share their experience about unreasonable delays particularly where BA claim staff sickness was a contributing factor, this could be very useful.

The passenger needs to stay anonymous at this stage for legal reasons but information emailed to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. will be promptly forwarded.

Ideally, information is needed within the next week (i.e. before the middle of December 2014).

Hopefully I will have more to report on this story at some stage in future.

Update: The passenger won his case and hopefully I will have more details to report on this later.

My wife just called crying after boarding because BA staff would not trouble themselves to effectively find 2 seats together for my wife and 13 year old daughter. Our family trip had to be staggered to minimize time away from home so our tickets ...

I paid 78 Euros for an early seat assignment on BA. Later I changed to another flight and discovered that the fee is non refundable. What a rip-off! to charge a fee in the first place, but to not refund it when you don't fly is even worse! I hope I ...

By the time you spend your points and pay the cash fees, you are better off paying cash to fly on another airline.
