delayed. LAS LGW.

Ladybird V-gast is tech. Hotels have already been mentioned for tonight!
Fingers crossed the engineers can fix her! BA and Thomas Cook both delayed too so feel slightly better.


Hotlips going to MAN looks like she is on time.

Ladybird is tech., est dep time now 23.00 Hotels overnight were mentioned an hour before boarding was due to start. Have a feeling we will have an extra night in Vegas!

Plus 600 Euros each thanks to EU261.

Make sure you claim that when you get home. VS will almost certainly try and wiggle out of it. If they do that then give them 7 days before action and claim via

Oh - that got me worried for tomorrow outbound to Vegas but looks like/assuming they are delaying one of the Orlando flights as a result?

Hope you got back safely, Vegas not a bad place for a delay, quick cab to the Hardrock!

Almost certainly almost all delays get shunted into the 15.

Interestingly looks like G-VWOW is operating VS15 today.

Almost certainly almost all delays get shunted into the 15.

Why would that be? Last flight of the day?

Thanks for the website. I tried claiming after my flight was cancelled and was told to poke it. a screw had fallen off somewhere but it was not VS fault (so they say)...not sure who's it was then.

The person who put the screw on, sounds like a lame excuse to me?

Finally got home. Had a chat with flight deck before getting off who explained the problem. Something to do with a new engine and the original coupling? G-VAST going straight to the hanger for more new bits. All crew were fantastic last night despite nearly 8hr delay. Thanks for info on claiming 600euro's, will check that out today....would come in handy as far too much money spent in Vegas!

Make sure you include what the pilot told you.

Sounds like a slam-dunk case to me.

Yes 15 is scheduled to be the final flight so almost always gets the delays, look at its on time record. quite often at the times we go to Orlando there is no choice because the 27 is not flying.

They, and all airlines, will try to wriggle out of it for sure, or will make a derisory goodwill gesture ahead of you pushing it - which I suggest you do not accept and stamp your foot saying "I know my rights". Please post back with what you get!

They also should have handed out a written notice advising you of your rights.

Slightly more complicated than the flight decks description. Lets put it this way, aircraft are only grounded with good reason. Couplings aside, she spent all night outside the hangar whilst the 787 was kept warm and dry.
