A while ago they changed the flight to 1655 to LCY. (Over 14 days prior so nothing - allowed rebooking both sectors though). We swapped the outbound and confirmed the 1655. Now worked better for London commitments. So was a blessing.
Now T-12 days (so within 14 but not 7) they have changed back from the 1655 to 1925. So rather than a cancel and rebook they’ve technically changed the timings of the 1655 by 2.5 hours rather than the flight number. This to trigger a time change and not cancellation as per the EC261 rules? Hence meaning no comp? Is this correct. Unless the flight gets further changed/delayed?
Having read all the regulations I’m a little confused on the nuances between “time/schedule change”, “delay” and of course “cancellation and rebook”. Arguably all 3 have the same affect, but treated differently for a 2-3 hour change within 14 days but not 7?
if you are informed of a time change between 2 weeks and 7 days before the flight, then you are not in scope for compensation unless the new times mean depart more that 2 hours before the original time or reaching your destination 4 hours or more later than originally scheduled.
i would say you are not in scope here.
