The amount depends only on distance (1,357 km, measured as the great circle between the airports) – not on the ticket price – and is paid per passenger, children included.

What this means for a claim: ATFM delays come from weather (72% here), air traffic control capacity and staffing (0%) or airport limits – causes airlines often cite as extraordinary circumstances. They are only part of the story: most long delays come from the airline’s own operation (technical faults, crew, late inbound aircraft), which this data does not show. Source: EUROCONTROL.
