HOW STRONG IS THIS CLAIM?
Good claim
Strong case — airlines usually pay these.
- ✓A delay over 3 hours meets the core requirement for compensation.
- ✓Weather was clear at both airports, removing the airline’s most common defence.
✓ WHY IT MAY QUALIFY
Arrival delay of 295 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 (6,664 km) sets the band: up to €600 per passenger.

More on the defence: what counts as extraordinary circumstances, and what doesn’t.
Why was AF6735 delayed?
- Airlines don’t publish the cause, and we don’t know it for this flight.
- The weather record: ORD: Clear · 4°C · wind 9 km/h, gusts 13 · CDG: Partially cloudy · 9°C · wind 6 km/h, gusts 12.
- That day at Paris, our radar recorded 5 other Air France flights and 5 flights on 4 other airlines cancelled or 3+ hours late.
To refuse compensation, the airline has to prove the cause was an extraordinary circumstance that could not have been avoided even if all reasonable measures had been taken (EC261 Article 5(3)).
Technical faults almost never count, and neither does a strike by the airline’s own staff. The EU’s top court has ruled on both (C-549/07, C-28/20).
Severe weather and air traffic control limits can count, but the airline must show they caused this flight’s disruption.
Weather can excuse compensation, never care: meals, hotel, and rebooking are owed regardless of cause.
