How much can I claim in damages for a missed connection, on an EU airline flying through the EU?
On a flight from Asia to the US on British Airways recently, I missed the connection in London. The first flight was delayed because of mechanical reasons. London was chaotic and British Airways was quite rude and unresponsive but after a significant wait they agreed to put me up in a motel (quite seedy - particularly for someone travelling on business class). Since I could not access my checked-in bags I decided to pick up a set of undergarments from the airport. Am I allowed to charge these (which I think are very reasonable) to the airline. What am I allowed by law? (I have no clue what law applies).
