Does location set the currency in which you are paid?
BA have agreed to pay me the full compensation of 600Euros for a delay of more than 6 hrs on long haul flight.
Or rather, BA have offered to pay me the equivalent sum in GBP in a UK account or USD in a US account.
However, they say that "we're unable to arrange a bank transfer in Euros to a UK account", ie my Euro denominated account at a UK bank, which has a standard sort code and a/c number.
Any ideas on the reason for the refusal?
While my BAEC account is registered in the USA, my ticket was issued in Japan and charged in JPY, albeit to a USD credit card, so it's not my current country of residence (JPN) nor my BAEC domicile (USA) that seems to be a determining factor.
