If my logic is correct then this is before we get to the CAA's own definitions mentioned above.

Welcome nevertheless Mattt1, welcome to the BA board here on Flyertalk. I hope you resolve this quickly and that you will continue to be active in this forum.
My case was Riyadh, which again is not a Mixed Fleet route as far as I can tell.
It was cancelled on a Thursday afternoon for a Monday morning flight.
I also chose to fly on the 24hr earlier flight (due to meetings) rather than 24hrs later - so am only eligible for 300 rather than 600 Eur unfortunately.
I did genuinely incur additional costs in the form of extra hotel night and board - so don't think my claim is unreasonable.
