If you have had a delayed flight you can actually be compensated, rules below
You can claim up to 600 euro per passenger for a delayed flight.
The rules:
1. Delay must have been 3 hours or more upon arrival at destination
2. Delay must have occurred within the last 6 years (if the case goes to court) but you can claim back to 2005
3. You need to have departed an EU airport (using any airline) or arrived at an EU airport (using an EU headquartered airline)
There are some defenses the airline can bring against a claim called Extraordinary Circumstances outlined as:
Adverse weather conditions (snow, fog etc...)
Natural disasters (volcanos, tornados etc...)
Union action
Terrorism
Security issues / threats
Hidden manufacturing defects
Civil / political unrest
Anything that is in the airlines control that caused a delay, cancellation or re-routing you can claim for (such as staff sickness, general delays, a previous flight being delayed affecting your flight...)

If you have been delayed you could claim a few hundred quid, all the sites linked give step-by-step guide as to how to make a claim, and the NWNF solicitor firms do it all for you after you enter your details, but they do take a service charge of around 29% of your final compensation.
