HOW STRONG IS THIS CLAIM?
Possible claim — mixed factors
Decent case — worth filing; expect one round of pushback.
- ✓A delay over 3 hours meets the core requirement for compensation.
- ⚠There were adverse weather conditions around this flight, which an airline may point to — though moderate weather alone rarely qualifies as extraordinary.
✓ WHY IT QUALIFIES
Arrival delay of 217 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 (847 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.
