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 258 minutes, measured at the destination doors (Sturgeon; Germanwings C-452/13). Three hours or more pays the same as a cancellation.
Covered by UK261; the distance (7,763 km) sets the band: up to £520 per passenger.

More on the defence: what counts as extraordinary circumstances, and what doesn’t.
Why was BA194 delayed?
- Airlines don’t publish the cause, and we don’t know it for this flight.
- The weather record: IAH: Clear · 26°C · wind 8 km/h · LHR: Partially cloudy · -1°C · wind 3 km/h, gusts 4.
- That day at London, our radar recorded 4 other British Airways flights and 1 flight on 1 other airline 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.
