[Chico]

LOL Emirates first offer for a flight delayed for 8 hrs was 30,000 air miles, I fell off my seat laughing, just checked my email and have now offered £533.00.

Was expecting a real long wait for any compo offer.

Anyone done this before, I had to miss a domestic flight, and then stay in BKK the night and buy another flight.

the offer states any over costs should be covered by insurance.

You're lucky to get anything of them, they are notoriously difficult to contact when compensation is involved.

Ye I found that out, none of the staff would give me an email or contact, I tried to fly the next day, but they said there were no other flights available for 3 days got on the internet and their own website the was availability, I confronted them and showed them the flights as you can imagine they wouldn't back down.

The women in the Emirates lounge couldn't wait to see the back of me when I told her she was a liar.
