How much compensation for a delayed British Airways flight from Aberdeen?

£220 each, if you land 3 hours or more late

Effectively one route: Aberdeen to Heathrow, 647 km apart, so the figure is flat.

Claim firms take a success fee, typically 20-30% plus VAT, and more again if the case has to go legal. On £220 that leaves you about £100 to £165. A claim firm only gets paid if it wins, so lose and you pay nothing.

We earn a fee if you claim through it.

Recent British Airways flights into Aberdeen that ran late

Every British Airways arrival at Aberdeen we logged running 3 or more hours late, or cancelled, since August. Newest first, and only flights UK or EU rules cover. A cancelled row carries no figure because what it pays turns on the notice you were given. The amount is what UK or EU rules pay that passenger, per person on the booking: usually the full rate for the distance, and half of it on the longest flights that landed between 3 and 4 hours late. Airlines can still dispute a claim by proving the cause was outside their control, so check yours to get the real answer.
