Imagine this itinerary: refund and separate compensation considered together. It's a hypothetical example, not a real traveler story or verified payment.

What the example teaches
A ticket refund and a statutory payment answer different questions. Neither should be assumed to cancel the other automatically.
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.
