In the case of the flights, did you not have to prove you actually took the flight to be entitled to the compo?

No. And how could you take a flight if it was cancelled?

Surely you had to be booked on the flight?

Booked - as in paid for a ticket - Yes. To get the 99p fares, you were travelling hand luggage only, and checking in online 30 days before departure. Therefore, the airline has no way of knowing if you had actually turned up at the airport for the flight or not. I mean, if you live close to the airport, why would you go there if the flight got cancelled more than (say) 1 hour before scheduled departure time?

Yes, of course, I should have realised that.
