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).
I do not think that it is clear that the distance would be measured back to flights that were not delayed
If travelling MUC-LHR-PHL and the MUC-LHR was delayed , then measuring from MUC-PHL would be corrent since the distance from journey of impacted flight to destination would be the highest distance
For PHL-LHR-MUC with a delay to LHR-MUC, I would think that BA would have a strong argument that the distance from impacted flight to destination is the shortest distance
For practical purpose, is EUR50 really worth worrying about trying to go to court over ?

I do not see anything that would suggest measuring back over flights already flown should be done. Connections onwards, yes but nothing that I can see that would refer to completed flights
