HOW STRONG IS THIS CLAIM?

Weak claim

Uphill case — the airline has a real argument.

✓The flight was diverted, causing a significant arrival delay.
⚠There were adverse weather conditions around this flight, which an airline may point to — though moderate weather alone rarely qualifies as extraordinary.
⚠We could not fully verify the actual arrival time, so confidence is reduced.

✓ WHY IT QUALIFIES

Diversion to another airport counts as a cancellation of the booked flight for compensation purposes when the arrival at the final destination is 3+ hours late.

Covered by EC261; the distance (1,095 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.
