HOW STRONG IS THIS CLAIM?
Weak claim
Uphill case — the airline has a real argument.
- ✓A delay over 3 hours meets the core requirement for compensation.
- ⚠Severe weather was recorded around this flight. Airlines often cite this as extraordinary circumstances, which can defeat a claim.
✓ WHY IT MAY QUALIFY
Arrival delay of 219 minutes, measured at the destination doors (Sturgeon; Germanwings C-452/13). Three hours or more pays the same as a cancellation.
Covered by UK261; the distance (243 km) sets the band: up to £220 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.
