HOW STRONG IS THIS CLAIM?

42/ 100

Possible claim — mixed factors

Decent case — worth filing; expect one round of pushback.

  • ✓The flight was cancelled. With less than 14 days notice and no timely re-routing, cancellations are strong claims.
  • ⚠Severe weather was recorded around this flight. Airlines often cite this as extraordinary circumstances, which can defeat a claim.

✓ WHY IT QUALIFIES

Cancellation (Article 5). With under 14 days’ notice — and a same-day cancellation is by definition under 14 — compensation is owed unless the airline proves extraordinary circumstances.

Covered by EC261; the distance (633 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.
