And I say all this as someone who has a claim in atm which was initially refused, and which I have just replied to as I want my money!
Using the Covid excuse for 2+ years as a reason to cancel a flight 7 days in advance is laughable. I am not sure if it’s a legal argument. Also, good luck with your claim.
