What is the EU 261/2004 compensation expected here? Can one make a double claim? The flight number for the new flight was not the usual flight number.
No, there's no possibility of multiple claims.

I'm pretty sure that BA will see this as one claim because that's how the legislation is written.

Assuming of course that the reasons for the cancellation and subsequent delay fall under the scope of the legislation.
