What the example teaches
A reduced long-haul amount can be relevant under UK rules; full eligibility still depends on the facts.
The GBP 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.
