HOW STRONG IS THIS CLAIM?

60/ 100

Good claim

Decent case — worth filing; expect one round of pushback.

  • ✓A delay over 3 hours meets the core requirement for compensation.
  • ⚠Weather data was unavailable, so we could not fully assess the airline’s likely defences.

✓ WHY IT QUALIFIES

Arrival delay of 205 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 (404 km) sets the band: €250 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.
