The main point is that if you paid £150 each for a flight (I don't know what you paid but I only paid £120 for Gatwick to Dalaman in July).
I feel that it is unreasonable to expect to receive around £360 as compo. Do you earn £90 per hour at work?
sThe compo should be based on what you paid in the first place, with a percentage for the inconvenience, the absolute maximum I would expect to receive in my example would be £150 each. Anything over that would be just plain greedy.
I have worked it out on £120 for the flight and 4 hours at just above the minimum wage.
MadmarT You really do talk a load of tosh. What has I or anyone paid for their flight got to do with it? Everyone knows that flight prices go up and down daily at an alarming rate most times. So you are saying that every single compensation claim should be based on flight prices. Who the hell would sort that mess out when we all pay different prices. As for it being based on the minimum hourly rate. What countries minimum hourly rate? Every single country has a different minimum hourly rate didn't you know that. As I say you are talking a load of tosh
You really are losing the plot on this or are not very bright.
It will be down to the airline to sort out the price paid, if they are wrong I take you would still have the notification from your credit/debit cards issuer.
I used the minimum hourly rate for the country that I am resident in and the flight originated. For the avoidance of doubt as it is too hard for you to understand that is the UK.
What you paid for the flight has everything to do with it, if you paid £400 for the flight you receive £400 plus a percentage for inconvenience, if you pay £100 you receive £100 plus a percentage for inconvenience. To be paid £90 per hour for what in reality is merely inconvenient seems excessive.
I would respectfully suggest that it is you clutching at straws rather than me talking tosh.
