The funny thing is that the cut and paste form letters gave different reasons. Some blamed Covid, others blamed the weather. There was nothing wrong with the AMS weather, they had airport views from their hotel rooms and could watch planes landing and taking off all evening. Flightradar24 showed there was nothing wrong at GDN anyway.

All of them have now enlisted the services of a claims agency, and are confident of getting compensated.

Why do the airlines may recovering money from compensation so challenging? I'd much rather get the total amount myself as opposed to sharing with an agency that sues the airline.

And, the airline would save more by avoiding deal with with those courts.
