Due to China Eastern airlines flight delay from kolkata, India on the 5 July for 3 hours, my connecting flight at Kunming airport was missed due to the airlines fault. My itinerary was from Kolkata to Taiwan via Kunming on the 5 July and then from Taiwan to Shanghai on the 13 July. As there was no connecting flight on the 5 July to Taiwan, the airlines had to put me up at a hotel and I had to stay put at the hotel at Kunming for more than 24 hours. As a result, the China custom did not grant me the 24 hours temporary entry permit and had my China visa stamped which was meant for my travel from Taiwan to Shanghai on the 13 July.This restricted my travel to Shanghai on the 13 July and as a result I had to stay back in Taiwan and rescheduled my flight from Taiwan to Kolkata. I am seeking compensation on the followings:
1. The airfare paid by me for the destination not traveled from Taiwan to Shanghai and from Shanghai to Kunming and
2. The cost of the china visa.
