Greece-GVA is 2,032km
GVA-MUC is 489km
MUC-Italy 507km
Total of all 3: 3,029km
Greece-Italy (without the connections) is 1,555km.
I requested the 250 euro off of the GVA-MUC which is the flight that went sideways and I missed MUC-Italy. Should I have requested more because the total trip was Greece-Italy at 1,500+km?
Thanks,

The applicable distance is starting point to ending point, direct distance.
If your distance is 1500+ then you should have received 400€ but I think it's too late now that it's been through SÖP
