Flight change compensation?

I've got an internal flight from Stockholm to Vaxjo in Sweden on the 15th of April.

However I have received an email stating that the flight has come forward by two hours. This make the flight better for me but Im annoyed that I wont have to spend 2 hours in Stockholm moaning about how expensive everything is.

So what does everyone think about my chances of compensation as I probably wont have anything to moan about on my trip.

    This is an outrage!!!!! :eek:

    Should you be tempted to enter into correspondence with the airline regarding this matter may I suggest that you limit yourself to the following five words:

    I'll see you in court!

    And to make it worse they phoned me to ensure I had received the email and they had the cheek to speak to me in English, do they think I cant speak Swedish!!

    I will only be satisified now if my flights are delayed by at least 2 hours

    You think you've got something to worry about,
    I came back from KL last week and got upgraded to the Premium Cabin with lay flat beds etc, I've had nothing to complain about over the weekend apart from the cold weather, I didn't even feel like kicking the cat (although obviously I forced myself).
    Your being out of the country on the 15th wouldn't have anything to do with me being on the FR901 on that date would it. I seem to remember
    you said something about buying a drink of lemonade or something.

    PS. do you have a cat?

    €600 is the only answer to this.

    I thought is was EU law by now anyway that any issue with an airline was a non questionable €600 compensation payout?
