I demanded, the combined offer amounts for about half of what I asked for.

Now what's really odd-ish is that LH claims that it was a weather related incident
and hence they would not be liable for anything.
Which leaves the two major questions:
  • if they don't owe me anything why do they offer me miles and cash?
  • why did other carriers fly the route if ATC called a halt due to weather?
So probably time to write back once more .
Weero,

Not sure what your idea was on compensation but I assume they will tear you up in the air if oyu don't accept..

On the other hand, if oyu asked for the additioanl cost (reimbursement) plus a couple of hundered euros (compensation of time and trouble) and 50K miles (goodwill) then this would be reasonable.

So not sure how far off they are... if it is 75.96 Euros (half the train ticket in 2nd class) and 5k miles I would balk at them ...
