HOW STRONG IS THIS CLAIM?

35/ 100

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 198 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 (347 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.
