can i get double compensation for two cancelled flights?

I thought I’d seen it all when it comes to travel mishaps, but this one really takes the cake. We boarded our flight from London to Singapore, settled in, and three hours into the air, the captain suddenly announces there’s a fuel problem. We turn around and land back in London. British Airways tries to make it right by putting us up in a hotel, but the place is an hour away from the airport. By the time I get there, it’s almost 3 AM, and my next flight is at 11. So, basically, no sleep for me. But wait, it gets better. The next morning, I drag myself back to the airport, only to find out the replacement flight—this time with Malaysian Airlines—is also cancelled, this time because of engine trouble. At this point, people around me just start laughing. I mean, what are the odds? Two flights, two cancellations, back to back. I felt like I was in some kind of bad sitcom. Now they want to put me on a third flight, but it’s got a six-hour layover in Kuala Lumpur, and I wouldn’t get to Singapore until after midnight. No metro, no easy way to get to a hotel, and I’d already missed two connections I’d booked separately. I was so exhausted and frustrated, I just gave up and booked a flight home instead. Here’s my question: Since both flights were cancelled for different reasons, can I actually claim compensation for both? I know the usual rule is 600 euros per cancelled flight under EU law, but does that apply if you get hit twice in a row like this? I’m out way more than that, and honestly, I feel like this kind of travel disaster should count for something extra. Has anyone else been through this? #travelwoes #flightcancellation #britishairways #Travel
