I thought cancellation with reaccommodation on another flight that arrives arrives within two hours of the original scheduled time does not attract compensation?
Article 7 (with caveats to reduce by 50%) appears that it doesn't kick in if a cancellation results in arrival less than 2 hours?
Edited: I see compensation at reduced rates is applicable if you are re-routed, but not payable at all if you aren't re-routed.
