Today germanwings cancelled its afternoon flight 4U464 to LHR - but I gather it did so yesterday! I was on that flight, but didn't find out until I arrived at the airport
Whatever for ? I can see that this afternoon's flight has been cancelled, but Today (Jan 24) has been CAVOK all afternoon, no sub-zero temperatures. I could see those orbiting the Lambourne VOR from Central London.


The CAA has agreed that cancellations from that process (as they are in the wider best interests of all travellers) are exempt from EU261 compensation
Whoever authorised this ? It is NOT "in the best interests of all travellers" that carriers then cherry-pick their cancellations to keep the most lucrative services going.

I wasn't even offered a meal voucher, let alone any more tangible compensation.
Little point anyway. The last time I got given a voucher (BA at T5) it was refused at the Pret-a-Manger inside the terminal on the grounds that "we don't accept those".
