Loganair Flight Cancelled

Higgydan

Hi I'm new here, just looking for advice really. 

I travelled from Aberdeen to Manchester recently I was booked on the 10:40 flight to Manchester which was scheduled to arrive at 12:05, Around 10:00am the flight was cancelled and I was told i needed to leave the terminal to collect my luggage and then proceed to the information desk, (bear in mind I had a 6 week old baby and a twelve year old with me) 

They then offered me a refund or to be put on the 14:05 flight to Manchester which arrived at 15:35. 

so we had a long wait in the airport weren't given any vouchers or anything, I have submitted a claim for compensation under the EU261/CAA Compensation. they have said they will respond within 28days. 

would I get the compensation for all three of us? My 6 week old baby is classed as an infant and didn't pay for his ticket (although he was charged air taxes and fees)?
