Do you HAVE to go through Adjudication Services?
I was recently delayed on a European Flight due to a spurious ‘natural disaster’. The airline in question have refused to pay out citing exceptional circumstances.

TAP and EC Regulation 261/2004
Made a claim (using MSE template) to TAP airlines for flight delays via their email address. They ignored it completely. Then I sent a recorded delivery letter to their UK office.
