Creator's Key Takeaways

The airline is relying on people giving up. If you've got a flight with 300 people, how many people are going to go to this effort?

All this time, do not close your case. Until the money hits your bank account, keep your case live in the MCOL. Do not close it.

It was very clear that Norse were going to ignore us. So, we did step two, which is called a letter before action.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Always approach the airline directly using their specific compensation forms first.
Send a 'letter before action' via recorded delivery if the airline ignores initial claims.
Use the Money Claim Online (MCOL) small claims court process if the airline fails to respond to a formal letter.
Do not close your court case until the money has actually hit your bank account.
Request a default judgment if the airline fails to respond to the court within the legal deadline.

YouTube Video Description

DISCLAIMER This video is based on my personal experience pursuing a UK261 airline compensation claim myself through the small claims process. I am not a solicitor or legal professional, and this video should not be taken as legal advice. Every claim is different. Before starting court action or paying any court fees, you should research your own case carefully and make sure you are eligible for compensation under UK261 regulations. Court fees may not be recoverable if your claim is unsuccessful. In this video, I explain exactly how I successfully claimed UK261 compensation from Norse Atlantic Airways after my delayed Barbados to Manchester flight. I cover the full process step-by-step, including: • Submitting the original compensation claim • Sending a Letter Before Action • Filing a claim through Money Claim Online (MCOL) • What happened when the airline failed to respond • Receiving Judgment in Default from the court • Recovering my compensation and court fee This video is intended to document my personal experience and help others understand the process I followed. If your flight was delayed, cancelled, or heavily disrupted, make sure you research your own eligibility carefully under UK261 regulations before taking any action, as the duration of the delay,changes depending on the distance of the flight
