Usually the Captain announces the reason onboard for such a long delay.
Was your inbound flight delayed ?
You are due compensation as long as the reason was not extraordinary, such as Medical emergency, extreme Weather, ATC restrictions.
My ORD-MUC flight arrived in MUC 3hr late because the plane was coming from MUC and was delayed 2hr departing there.
Is anyone on this forum able to find out why? The pilot or crew only said that the plane was late arriving into ORD, but didn't say why it was late leaving MUC.
