With the bowling club to Amsterdam - a sociable trip with teething troubles

Amsterdam

A short experience report: "It was October 17, 2023, when our bowling club 'Alle Neune' gathered at the airport full of anticipation, ready for the annual club trip. This year's destination was Amsterdam, the city of canals and tulips. But before we could immerse ourselves in this picturesque world, fate put us to the test: our flight WA1796 from KLM Cityhopper was delayed by a whole 299 minutes.

How much compensation can I claim for a delay of almost 5 hours?

While some of us used the extra time to study the guidebooks and practise our first Dutch phrases, others were less enthusiastic about the unexpected delay. However, the prospect of possible compensation of 250 euros per head, which was to be claimed through the expertise of Captain Frank, lifted our spirits somewhat. We entered our details with Captain Frank directly via smartphone to make our claim for compensation, quickly and easily.

When we finally reached Amsterdam, all anger was blown away. The city welcomed us with open arms and its incomparable charm. We wandered through the historic streets, admired the architecture and enjoyed the culinary delights.

From a late arrival to an unforgettable stay - our trip to the "Venice of the North" was proof that the best company can turn any inconvenience into precious memories."
