If I'm reading the rules correctly this should be EUR250 compensation per passenger (less than 7 days cancellation notice, 5+ hours early departure). Is that right?
Similar situation to Metooleopard but the LHR-MAD outbound BA458 on the 14th instead. Flight was suppose to depart on 07:20 but now rebooked to the 456 at 06:20 4 days before the flight.
Looking at the rules this sits exactly on the 1 hour mark.. not quite sure if this would qualify for EC261 compensation.
In case of cancellation, you are also entitled to compensation in the following circumstances:
a) You are given less than 7 days’ notice of the cancellation and you are offered rerouting which leaves more than an hour earlier than originally scheduled or arrives at your final destination more than 2 hours later than originally scheduled.
Besides, I'm thinking that because BA458 is a Mixed Fleet flight anyways, would this be classified as extraordinary circumstances and thus no compensation would be due?
