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 MAY QUALIFY

Arrival delay of 201 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 (1,769 km) sets the band: up to €400 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.
