HOW STRONG IS THIS CLAIM?
Good claim
Decent case — worth filing; expect one round of pushback.
- ✓A delay over 3 hours meets the core requirement for compensation.
- ✓Weather was clear at both airports, removing the airline’s most common defence.
- ⚠The delay is very close to the 3-hour line, where exact measurement matters most.
✓ WHY IT QUALIFIES
Arrival delay of 180 minutes, measured at the destination doors (Sturgeon; Germanwings C-452/13). Three hours or more pays the same as a cancellation.
Covered by EC261; the distance (1,537 km) sets the band: €400 per passenger.
☔ WEATHER AT THE TIME
Weather evidence is pulled from the airports’ own records when the claim is created — it’s what answers the airline’s “extraordinary circumstances” letter.
Weather can excuse compensation, never care: meals, hotel, and rebooking are owed regardless of cause.
