When we eventually boarded a day late we were advised that the delay was due to adverse weather conditions in Montenegro - the plane's previous destination - so it had to divert elsewhere- and then the staff had been away from home too long to make the return journey - so no plane to travel to Dalaman. 

It took 15 hours to find a "spare" plane to travel to Dalaman.

The flight crew (who had apparently been brought in specially for the flight) were lovely and leaflets were available at the check in desk telling us about our rights in case of delay; however the cabin crew must have said at least 10 times that the delay was caused by adverse weather conditions (this being one of the situations in which an airline is not obliged to pay 600 euros compensation per person).

Presumably this was an attempt to minimise the number of clients claiming compensation,and clients gossiping about compensation on the flight, although personally I don't see how they can wriggle out of this, as the adverse weather was elsewhere and if EasyJet could find a spare plane 15 hours later why could they not find one sooner?

We will be submitting our compensation claims and I will let everyone know the outcome in due course

Like most airlines, rail and transport companies, there's no profit in having spare equipment and crew sitting around "just in case".
