My query is, I'm not sure if the fog itself was entirely to blame for the delay and wondered if I had any recourse for compensation? Incoming flight EK015 from DXB to LGW landed at LGW hours before incoming flight EK011 (i.e.the incoming aircraft going back to DXB). Also from memory, other flights out of Dubai to LHR weren't affected as badly
Thanks in advance for any advice
I was in Dubai at that time, and it was chaos - I missed my NYE, and spent it at DOH airport instead. No compensation will be due unfortunately as it was weather related.
