EU261 claim gc distance
If someone with experience on this could help would be great.
BRU-LHR-BEY, first leg got cancelled on the day, alternative given was 2 days later, so decided to cancel and refund (another story to take with Expedia). Sent in the claim for compensation to BA, came back with 400EUR.
I do realise it's got to do with the great circle mapping as was confirmed with BA in a subsequent email, but I came across this http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-conte...LEX:32004R0261:
Would that mean in any way having LHR as part of the trip would have it counted (i.e. BRU-LHR-BEY) instead of just BRU-BEY?
Thanks

In determining the distance, the basis shall be the last destination at which the denial of boarding or cancellation will delay the passenger's arrival after the scheduled time.
Thanks
