Cancellation and Re-routing / Notification given in time

Steffen from Hamburg wants to go to Ibiza with his friends. They have planned to meet at Ibiza airport at noon to drive to the finca together. Steffen books a flight with airline A: departure time 8:55 am – arrival in Ibiza 11.55 am.

Three weeks prior to departure the travel agent calls to inform him that his flight has been cancelled due to lack of bookings. Steffen is offered re-routing on a later flight with airline A (arrival 16.00 pm) which he reluctantly accepts.

But still, Steffen is not entitled to compensation.
