EC261 Compensation by Condor
Maybe some of you had a similar case which would be very helpful as I'm not exactly sure with this one:
I was booked on PUJ-FRA with DE which happened to depart 12 hours behind schedule (Wamos had to help out on short notice since the outbound flight had to return to FRA for technical reasons).
An alternative flight was not offered by DE, so I booked myself on the AB flight to DUS.
Does EC261 cover such a case? I heard that a departure delay greater than 5 hours gives you the option not to fly. But can I claim compensation for this disruption?
