BA 292 IAD-LHR cancellation 22nd October 2018
My parents were booked on this flight but received an email yesterday saying that the flight had been cancelled and they've been moved onto the earlier BA216.
I assume since the cancellation was done with 2 days notice before the original flight that they would be eligible for EU261 600 EUR pp compensation? Do they claim for this after the flight?
Thank you!

There is a dedicated thread to EC261 available via the Dashboard which gives the full details, but I guess they are now leaving 4 hours earlier than planned, which would enable EC261. albeit at half the full rate (300€ per person). This is assuming no extraordinary circumstances, and at this remove it is unlikely: Expertflyer's Dispatch details for the flight give the cause as DAMY, which means Damaged Aircraft and Yes to EC261.
