This is much more than the 250 USD given on EVA's website.
Not only is it much more, it is also - where applicable - in addition to! The airline has, where EU Regulation 261/2004 is applicable, not only a duty of care and is responsible for refunding extra costs but has to pay the compensation as meant in this Regulation as well!
