Where is the crystal-clear segment in the regulation that the distance between the point of origin and point of destination matters?
The argument is not about the final destination (both passenger and BA agree: it is MUC), but the point of origin (BA says LHR, passenger says PHL).
Well the clause you quoted included stuff about connecting flights, which would not make sense or would be superfluous if the regulations intended LHR to be the start point.
