Flight delayed compensation advice

Hello all,

I have been in contact with Condor over my 3+ hours delay from Manchester to Palma Majorca. Below show their response and i just wanted to know should i be getting more compensation of €24 (not sure if its the total or per person).

Dear Mr. Jones,

because of an unpredictable circumstance our flight of 21.05.2015 had a delay. We apologize for this inconvenience.

In accordance with the traffic control center travellers will receive a reduction of 5 % of their daily travel costs of each started hour. In your case we will refund you € 24,- in form of a cheque who will be send to you shortly.

We look forward to welcome you on board again.

Best regards,

Sommer

Any advice is welcome.

    Read my guide and you'll see you are most likely due a bit more than €24 ... depending upon what caused the delay.

    Hi and thanks for the reply.

    How did you get the info regarding flight delay of 215 minutes as i couldnt find the exact time?

    Also, there was no reason given on why it was delayed.

    I sent this cheeky response shown below but i am not sure i was correct.

    Dear Sommer

    This offer of €24 is not acceptable.

    The flight was delayed over 3 hours and the compensation according to EU regulation 261/2004 for over 3 hours over 1500kilometers is €400 each person in my party. Total of €2000.

    Please send a cheque for €2000.

    I look forward to a full response to this email within 14 days. If I do not receive a satisfactory response I intend to pursue my complaint further, which could mean taking it to court.

    Many thanks

    If you have sent them a NBA, get ready to start court proceedings after the 14 days
