What the example teaches
The time and distance are assumed inputs. They do not establish an actual payment without the other legal conditions.
The EUR figure shown with this example is only arithmetic or a conditional reference. It isn’t a verified entitlement or payment.
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.
