What you're owed
Leaving London City
£220each under UK law
Leaving Luxembourg
€250each under EU law
Luxembourg is in the EU, so this applies whichever airline you fly.
Either figure is payable only when the delay was within the airline's control. A technical fault, a crew shortage or a late inbound aircraft all count; genuinely extraordinary circumstances such as severe weather or an air traffic control restriction do not.
London City and Luxembourg are 482 km apart (1,500 km or less), and that distance is all that decides the amount. Which figure applies depends only on which end of the route you departed from, not which way you were travelling.
How many were on the booking
£220 each. £880 for a family of four.
Flying home from Luxembourg: €250, €500, €1,000. Everyone with their own seat is paid, children included.

From our own tracking
Recent delays on this route
Every flight on this route we logged running 3 or more hours late, or cancelled, since August. Each row shows the direction it actually flew, and only flights UK or EU rules cover are listed, so you may see far more of one heading than the other. Amounts are per person on the booking (half on the longest flights that landed 3 to 4 hours late). Airlines can still dispute a claim by proving the cause was outside their control, so check yours for the real answer.
