It wouldn't be a 'fob off' - an airline is not responsible for such delays and therefore EC261 compensation is not due.
Scenario 1 - aircraft ready for ontime departure, regular taxi and arrives on time. Scenario 2 - aircraft delayed on stand, missed slot, had to taxi out via remote hold whilst a new slot is secured. I would have said scenario 2 gives the basis of an argument, the consequences of missing a slot are known and part and parcel of aviation. |
Again today

Cancelled in the lounge, an hour before take off. Tech. |
We were meant to be on the inbound JFK-LGW on the 16th. Fortunately we got 10hrs notice and were able to select BA172 to LHR an hour earlier.
Our outbound had been LGW-MCO so I hastily booked JFK-LGW and then immediately regretted it (older planes, LGW further from home and we wouldn’t be taking our car). So ironically the cancellationwas actually a welcome improvement for us. Not only that - we got G-VIIO on the MCO leg so didn’t have to suffer an end-of-life cabin either way. |

Luckily got out without the traffic on Friday, but out of curiousity: would a 90-min taxi count as extraordinary circumstances for EU261 (assuming a missed connection makes the final delay >4hrs)? A couple of years ago I flew B6 on a Friday evening and we taxied for 2.5hrs...I often fly JFK-CLT on AA and flights are often scheduled for 3hrs+ when it's not much more than half that in the air. |

I thought BA did an OK job most seemed to be booked on the 1950 LHR - Though some were put on the 8am the following day.
Just frustrating that this is an oft cancelled service - the guys at LGW admitted that its often the one to get cancelled if there are other fleet issues earlier in the day ( I guess the Caribbean) I talked to a few fellow PAX and most people thought BA did a good job. The fact that the 183 (1950) must have been reasonably lightly loaded to start with must have helped. I was seated on the UD and there were at least 5 or 6 Gatwick "refugees" up there too... |
