Series 17: Four-day delay, but my airline won't pay

A couple who planned a holiday to Honolulu say their four-day stop-off in Las Vegas was wiped out by a series of flight cancellations and delays, leaving them jetting back and forth between Dublin and Heathrow as they scrambled to make it to the US - but the airline responsible won't pay any compensation. Also, with seemingly ever-changing rules on the size of luggage you're allowed to take on board flights, the team investigate whether airlines are playing fair.
