Seems same flight departing 18 May was diverted to St John’s. Not sure how far back BA can go back for operational delay (even if that delay was a medical emergency) to try to get out of EU delay compensation.
I put an EU261 claim in within 24 hours and the next day BA confirmed the £520 compensation for the 2 tickets. Awful to be delayed, but good customer service to confirm compensation so soon. We were just under 4 hours delayed. The compensation is greater than the fare, as used Avios and a Barclays upgrade voucher. BA also sent an email to say check was extended until an hour before the new departure time which made a big difference in spending the day in London rather than in Gatwick. Flight was great other than the delay - the Premium Econ seat in the 777 is comfy; the only complaint was that on both meal services my first choice was not available :-/
