I got a very prompt response from the Air Passenger Refund email account.
I was told Payments will start in November, and on a rolling basis, so first come first served i would imagine.
In the email it also says that 90 days interest will be added to the payment.
So I expect those of you who jumped on this straight away should expect something in Nov or Dec.

Excellent. I'll keep an eye on the bank account. Nice to iclude the 90 days interest too.

Please refer to the Official Website.
https://www.airpassengerrefund.co.uk/It depends on when you flew and with which airline.

Sorry to dig up this old post (there was also another discussion about this which I can't find now) but there's been a recent update (finally):
quote:10/04/2009 -
The appeals to the Settlements have been voluntarily dismissed by Order of the Court dated 1 April 2009. The processing of payments for approved claims will now begin with first refund payments to be sent out in May 2009.
So payments should start arriving in May [y]

About time too. Now, what about the interest that it has been quietly accruing?

Like many things, I am sure they will taste even better knowing that someone else has paid for them [y] (though in a round-about fashion, you did already pay for them years ago....).

As much as that ?[:?]
I was thinking that with all the flights I had taken over that period for personal flying in FIRST and J I may be able to afford, and only just, a bag of pork scratchings and maybe a pint of RichardMannions favourite tipple i.e diet coke (my local being in Islington means that I wuld have to be VERY LUCKY to receive enough rebate to afford a pint of my pub tipple (wifebeater) [:w])

Hi all
I registered my claim for a passenger refund back in February 2008. Having not paid to much attention to this matter since then, I stumbled across an old link to the air passenger refund web site. I have entered my detail and reference numbers for both my wife and I, but unfortunately the system informs me that my details can be matched. Anyone got any ideas what I should do? Has anyone else experienced this kind of thing?
Cheers [y]

Mmmm, free beer [y]
But you're right, it's only my own money back - though I think there's one trip that work paid for (in the days when I used to travel to proper places for business *sigh*)

LOL - I reckon at 2.70 a pint in my local for Old Speckled Hen, I should at least get my Tuesday poker night intake paid for...

Trev, I had the same problem, as I needed to change my address and the site didn't recognise my reference number.. I emailed them and they replied with:
quote:The reference number that you provided indicates that you registered to be sent a copy of the Claim Form, and have not filed the Claim Form necessary to receive a refund. The claim form was not available until 1 July 2008. Passengers who went on-line prior to that date could not file a claim but instead received a 'Confirmation Number' designed to confirm that a claims packet was sent to you.
You must submit an official Claim Form in order for us to process a refund request. After you file a Claim Form on-line, you will receive a 'Claim Reference Number' that begins with an '800.'

Sure does, I was sat there this morning thinking 'I don't recall been asked for my bank details'. Over an hour later I've finally worked out how many flights I need to claim for (logging in to FC accoutn and looking at the full statement), and submitted claims for me, my friend and my family. Now have a series of claim reference nubmers beginning 800 as stated above.

Try
[email protected] however I don't think it did send an email confirmation. It certainly didn't when I submitted a claim last week.

Seems like their timeframe was a little optimistic, from

The processing of payments for approved claims is in process -- first refund payments to be sent out beginning 5 June 2009.

They must have changed that this week, as I checked last week and it was still saying May. I checked all 3 of my claims, and they are all recognised on their system, as I submitted mine so late, I am not expecting anything for quite some time.

Harrumpf! I'll believe it when it happens.
However, when someone does receive a payment, please tell us.
