HOW STRONG IS THIS CLAIM?
Good claim
Strong case — airlines usually pay these.
- ✓The flight was cancelled. With less than 14 days notice and no timely re-routing, cancellations are strong claims.
- ✓Weather was clear at both airports, removing the airline’s most common defence.
- ⚠We could not fully verify the actual arrival time, so confidence is reduced.
✓ WHY IT QUALIFIES
Cancellation (Article 5). With under 14 days’ notice — and a same-day cancellation is by definition under 14 — compensation is owed unless the airline proves extraordinary circumstances.
Covered by UK261; the distance (5,240 km) sets the band: £520 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.
