Hi all,

My family of 4 had a recent trip departing from Europe via Doha. The CHP-DOH leg was delayed by 3 h, Qatar rebooked us to another flight for the 2nd leg, gave us hotel and food voucher in Doha (nice of them, but we were already in Doha on the way to Europe). We reached the final destination 16 h late. There is nothing i can do about being Qatared on both legs, missing out on the Quad Q suite for the family. but i will of course pursue the delay compensation according to EU261.

Contacted Qatar, they responded quite promptly after a few days, asking for copies of our passports, tickets, authorisation to act on behalf of the family, birth cert of our child who is under 18, etc. I supplied them with necessary documents, then dead silence.

It has been about 4 weeks.

Question to my braintrust: when should i start escalate this and contact the Danish National Enforcement Body (where the flight commenced)?
 
we were using Eurostar in Europe. One of our train was 66 min late. There was a PA announcement before we disembarked that passengers may be eligible for compensation. I logged into Eurostar few days later, after few click, 25% of the ticket value went straight back to my credit card. EU261 may also be applicable to train travel in Europe.
