British Airways strike: Can I claim compensation for the extra night I was forced to spend in a hotel?
Simon Calder answers your questions on the Heathrow walkout, transit passengers, and the night bus into London
Q I had my flight back to Heathrow from Zurich on 9 September cancelled because of the British Airways pilots’ strike. The only option BA gave me was a flight on 10 September to London City, meaning a trek across London to get back to my car and the cost of an extra night in Switzerland. Any chance of compensation?
