Martin Lewis fan shares how they got £1,200 compensation by following ‘easy’ tips

Martin Lewis explains how people can get flight compensation MoneySavingExpert fan Andrea was able to get £1,200 compensation after her flight was delayed thanks to Martin’s ‘easy tip’. She wrote to the MoneySavingExpert team to thank them for their help with getting the extra cash. Andrea said: ‘There were four of us. I would never have found out about the compensation if it weren’t for Martin’s easy link. ‘It took me five minutes to fill in and we got £1,200! I booked flights for October with the money and had change. Bonus!’ Mr Lewis’s advice has been welcome since travel giants like British Airways have planned to axe 16,000 flights, meanwhile EasyJet has been forced to cancel thousands of flights in the past month. She wrote to the MoneySavingExpert team to thank them for their help with getting the extra cash Passengers who’ve been delayed have been fighting to get compensation and MoneySavingExpert has helped lead the charge. Britons can download their free flight delay reclaiming letters – and they have launched a free online reclaim tool to make the process even easier. If someone’s flight is cancelled, they can either ask for a refund of the ticket or ask to be rebooked on a replacement flight – but they may also be due compensation as well. The first rule is that only UK or EU-regulated flights qualify for compensation. MSE explained: ‘A UK or EU flight is where the flight departed from an UK/EU airport, regardless of the airline OR where a UK/EU airline landed at a UK/EU airport. ‘Under these rules, EU airports also include those in Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland.’ The second rule is that Brits can claim compensation as far back as 2017. And the third – and most important – is that Brits are entitled to a refund or a new flight, no matter the reason for cancellation.
