Q We were booked on KLM from Athens via Amsterdam to Inverness on a Saturday night.
-
A late departure from Athens meant we reached Amsterdam too late for the Inverness connection. KLM couldn't rebook us until Monday. Due to storm disruption there was almost no hotel availability in Amsterdam, so we ended up having to book the first night at the Waldorf Astoria for €549 [£480]. With our checked bags in the transit system, we also bought basic clothes and toiletries. Are we entitled to full reimbursement of the hotel, essentials and meals? And should we get additional compensation for arriving two days late?

Why is Gen Z so obsessed with 'almost relationships'?
Nothing is as romantic as a relationship that never quite happened. Preserved in possibility, it’s a near-miss dynamic that exists in an exclusively liminal space; you’re not quite together, but there’s enough evidence to suggest that one day, were all the stars to suddenly align, you might be.
