My whole flight schedule was Birmingham to Sydney, few internals flights in Australia, then return was Melbourne to Birmingham with Dubai connection, this was where we were delayed (Dubai to Birmingham). Hope that clears things up. I responded to their Sky miles offer for monetary compensation but am yet to get a response from the 13th. My impression is that we do not qualify under EU261 but will see or if any can argue why we do.
