Not wanting to be mercenary here, but would like to know if this is considered extraordinary circumstances or worth a claim. The delay was a bit of a pain...

Was on BA4473 last Friday which was diverted to MAN due to electrical burning smells and possible smoke in the galley. (Crew were apparently either taken to hospital or treated by paramedics) We were offered coaches to LCY (many took that option), which would have got us in 5 hours or so late, whereas I was overnighted at BA's expense and came home the next morning. Is the aircraft fault extraordinary, or not?. BA have promised to pay expenses (max £50) which seems a bit stingy (though my expenses amount to a tube journey and the HeX as we had to come into LHR, so nowhere near that)

Thanks!
