EC261 compensation when passenger resigned from delayed flight
EC261 guarantees passengers the right to abandon journey if the expected delay is bigger than 5 hours.
The court decisions interpret EC261 that a delay of at least 3h (depending on the distance) is a base for a compensation as if the flight was cancelled.
Can one use these two jointly, that is: when the delay of at least 5 hours is announced, declare resignation from the journey and claim both return of the ticket price AND the fixed EC261 compensation?
