When the EU law says you are due 600€ for missing a flight, that also means you are due only 600€ for missing a flight, no matter what. Doesn’t matter if you missed out on the job of a lifetime, or if you weren’t present for your father’s last breath. It’s so disingenuous how they craft a narrative of citizens/consumers first, but in end effect, the only ones who have the ear of von der Leyen and the rest of the EC are the lobbyists. Metsola is the head of the EP and she’s the biggest corporate stooge to ever walk this planet.

    As I already said, the job of the courts is to determine just financial compensation.

      For every single possible delay, or for singular specific events for a single person?

      IE.

      1. a flight being delayed because the engine needs to be repaired?

      or

      1. a single person kicked off a flight unfairly?

      Courts are funded by tax payers. You want to use the courts to calculate financial compensation individually for every single person ever affected by a delayed/cancelled flight, regardless of the reason?

      You are welcome to take cases to the courts, if thats possible.

      But what I am interpreting from your replies, you are expecting an insane level of work and cost.

      Have you had some specific event affect you, where you have lost out more than €600 euros?

      Looks like you’re an immigrant to Germany - what compensation would you get from your “home”/birth country?

      edit

      As I already said, the job of the courts is to determine just financial compensation.

      Is that your own opinion, or the actual legal case which you are being prevented from doing?
