The instrument's own words

(a) £220 for all flights of 1500 kilometres or less; (b) £350 for all flights between 1500 and 3500 kilometres; (c) £520 for all flights not falling under (a) or (b).
Regulation (EC) No 261/2004 article 7, Right to compensation (legislation.gov.uk), read September 2026

That passage is the whole of what legislation.gov.uk publishes on this point on the section cited. It is reproduced here for reporting and comment; it is not advice, and it does not decide your claim.

The same disruption in the other jurisdiction

Jurisdiction What the instrument says
United States
Compensation shall be at least 400 percent of the fare to the passenger's destination or first stopover, or $2,150, whichever is lower
14 CFR 250.5, Amount of denied boarding compensation (eCFR), read September 2026

Side by side, each in its own instrument's words. Where the two regimes differ, the difference is the point: a passenger flying between them can be covered by one and not the other on the same journey.

Where this comes from

This quotation was taken from Regulation (EC) No 261/2004 article 7, Right to compensation (legislation.gov.uk) on September 2026, and the text of that page as it read that day is kept so the quotation can be checked. legislation.gov.uk publishes it; this site only quotes it.
