MH148 12th Nov late flight cancellation

[MEL_Traveller]

Unfortunately the exact reason is often unknown to the passenger and whatever "reason" is given, verification is difficult

In my case it was called a " delay" but the rescheduled flight was 24hrs later. So was it a cancellation or a delay?

To carve out liability under the Malaysian code, the delay has to be due to severe weather, natural disasters, political instability, or ATC.

So pretty easy to identify if it’s one of those.

I did check the inbound flight on flightaware and apparently that flight was also cancelled, so i wouldn't say it's because of the delay on the inbound flight. Keen to know if there's anywhere else to verify the actual reason for compensation as this 12 hour delay with 3.40am departure time has caused chaos to my schedule and terrible inconvenience if the airport couldn't prepare my mom a wheelchair assistance. I rang MH and they say they couldn't secure that on their end either due to short timeframe , which is unacceptable to consumer

Re wheelchair assistance, once on board ask the cabin crew to organise it. They are able to do that if you still luck out before the flight. Even if you are able to secure something before the flight, still no harm in asking the cabin crew to check and confirm that your mum's wheelchair requirement will be met on arrival.
