What the example teaches
The destination alone does not bring this inbound flight under EU261. Check the actual operating carrier.
These assumptions don't produce a payment figure.
Try it with your own facts
Swap each assumption for what happened on your flight: the ticket, airline, notice, and actual arrival. Then check the official rule and use the airline's claim channel. This isn't a real traveler review.

This example is hypothetical. It doesn't show what an airline paid a real traveler.
