I've had quite a few flights recently where I've been served no meal. On all of these occasions it was because I had the audacity to change my plans on the day of travel (normally changing very early in the morning an evening flight from CDG back to Blighty - on a fully flexible ticket). I never get told that there's no meal until I'm uncomfortably sitting in 1A and then spend the next 45 minutes chewing pretzels muttering under my breath about how the phrase "fully flexible" is a pile of pants. I've not even been so lucky as to get a response from BA (when I fill out those forms that no-one ever bothers to read), never mind offered compensation.

I guess most lawyers on FT are familiar with the following url: http://www.carbolicsmokeball.com/cat...Framed_Print)/ showing how much damages a plantiff could expect to receive in compensation for loss of limb etc.

We should have a similar thread entitled "how much compensation should I be receiving for a particular event". Then I can grumble even more about being totally ignored by BA. It's my own fault though... I should stop using the airline ages ago, but then I remember I've got all these BA Miles and then I do something stupid like take advantage of the one-way upgrade to F for J2BAs... so I've only got myself to blame.
