Hello. Two queries.

1.
Does the Jager v EasyJet ruling mean that in essence weather can only apply to your 'flight in question'?
Situation with AY that HEL-BKK came into BKK late. So BKK-HEL was late and missed connection HEL-LHR.
AY say no 261 as snow at HEL delayed flight to BKK.
My flight however was BKK-HEL so not 'flight in question'.
This guide says I should be afforded comp as knock on effects not usually allowed as 'extraordinary'.
Did some reseach on this and found Jager v Easyjet.

2.
This query is for a friend.
He was scheduled to fly RAK-MAN. Few weeks before flight it was cancelled, no RAK-MAN within days of flight.
So rebooked onto RAK-LGW.
Got to LGW, with strikes and snow etc, had to pay £120 for taxi to London. £100 for hotel in London. £40 for bus to Manchester.
Is the £260 expenses reclaimable from EasyJet as duty of care?
Reading the legislation I think so however just want to ensure for him that him taking LGW instead of MAN does not open door for EasyJet to claim he willingly changed destintion.

Thanks.
