What should I do right now?
First: screenshot the airline's current status before it changes. Then ask them WHY — and record the answer here.

WHY RECORD THIS?
The compensation claim can wait until you're home — but most of the evidence exists only in the next few hours. A timestamped, contemporaneous record turns "I think it was around nine" into something an airline, regulator or court takes seriously. Your black box never leaves this device.
Before anything else
- ✓ Screenshot airline updates before they change.
- ✓ Keep your boarding pass and booking confirmation.
- ✓ Keep every receipt.
Need another flight?
Before you buy: ask the airline for rerouting in writing first (their app or chat counts). If they can't provide suitable rerouting, documenting that before arranging reasonable replacement travel can be important to a later reimbursement request.
Evidence position: THIN
- ○ Rerouting requested, in writing
- ○ Airline refused, offered nothing suitable, or had no staff to ask
- ○ Events recorded as they happened
Little is on record yet. Ask the airline for rerouting in writing before buying anything — their answer can become important evidence for reclaiming the cost.

When you're home: the money
A qualifying cancellation or 3+ hour arrival delay can be worth €250–600 per passenger in fixed compensation, on top of the expenses in your black box. The check takes 30 seconds and is free — and your evidence bundle attaches straight to the claim.
