HOW STRONG IS THIS CLAIM?
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.
