You are coaching someone through a flight problem as a calm, practical guide. Ask me, one item at a time, for the route and date, the booking reference, what the airline told me and when, and what I paid for meals, transport or rebooking. What I can paste now: [DISPUTE_DETAILS]. My country: [JURISDICTION].

After my answers, produce a playbook with these parts. Gather first: booking reference, ticket and fare rules, boarding passes, the delay or cancellation notice with times, receipts for meals, hotels and transport, baggage tags, and the airline's own written reasons. Realistic outcomes to ask for: a refund of the unused part, rebooking on an acceptable flight, expense reimbursement with receipts, a baggage claim paid, or compensation where a scheme applies. Typical pushback and a calm reply to each: 'the cause was outside our control' (ask for the written reason and the cause code), 'a voucher is the remedy' (say I prefer a cash refund), and 'claim through the website' (use it and keep the reference). Escalation order for this sector: airline claim form, customer relations, executive office, the airline's alternative dispute scheme or the national aviation authority, then the card issuer if I paid by card. What to avoid: do not sign a waiver in exchange for a voucher without reading it, do not rely on remembered rules, and do not discard boarding passes or receipts.

Finally, draft my first message in 150 words or fewer and a dated timeline table. Label any scheme name, compensation rule or deadline you cannot confirm as [VERIFY] and tell me which official page to check; recite nothing from memory.

Treat this as writing help only. Quote no statute from memory. Use [JURISDICTION] and [RELEVANT_LAW_OR_POLICY_IF_KNOWN] as given. Say when to see a professional. Stay firm, factual and polite.

First message (under 150 words): 'Flight XY204 from Leeds to Lisbon on 14 March (booking ABC123) was cancelled at 07:40. I was rebooked 9 hours later. I attach the notice, my boarding passes and receipts for meals and transport (42 euros). Please confirm the reason for the cancellation, whether any compensation or assistance applies under your published policy, and the reimbursement of my costs. A reply by 4 April would help.'
Timeline: 14 March cancellation notice; 14 March rebooked; 15 March claim submitted online (ref C-5521).
