It's not the airlines that are at fault but the idiots at the EU who set levels of compensation that are completely out of proportion to the cost of the fares. If you were paying £1,000 to fly to Magaluf or Marrakesh fair enough, but how can it be proportionate or realistic to make an airline pay you £350 compensation when you've paid them maybe £20 for the flight?

There should be NO compensation payable. If someone's that bothered about a delay they should take out their own insurance. All this ruling will do is put up the cost of fares for the vast majority of us who don't go grubbing for compensation under every stone of misfortune.
