How do I calculate the distance of a connected flight?

2 Posts

I've had part of a flight from Edinburgh to Hannover via Frankfurt cancelled/rescheduled 2 days prior to departure.
I arrived in FRA on time but my onward flight was cancelled/rescheduled to a flight 6 hours later.
Which has a tool to write the letter for my claim and this calculates the direct distance between Edinburgh and Hannover, which 993km.
Citizen's advice has a tool that calculates the distance as the sum of the individual flights which would get me just above 1500km.
Which one do I base my claim on?

(I may also be a bit concerned about privacy and this may be a slightly different route including another location at similar but slightly longer distances).
If your posted flights were fictional and you were actually talking about a different journey, then the principle is that if it's all on the same ticket, you measure the distance from start of first flight to end of last flight.
