I've no idea why we was late into LHR. We pushed back about 10 mins late and circled for 20 mins at LHR. Nothing too unusual on a Monday morning.
The problem was that there was exactly one hour between scheduled arrival and departure, so it was always going to be optimistic.
The LHR DUB flight we eventually flew on did arrrive a little late at 1450 (doors open on my watch) which is frustratingly 15 mins short of the 3 hours for the rescheduled flights but a total delay of about 5 hours.
If EU261 isn't going to work do I have any recourse with AA?
