She received about $500 per delayed flight as delay compensation. It's supposed to cover extra travel/hotel/inconvenience arising from a significantly delayed flight. Since the amount involved is fairly small, payout is pretty automated...they're not checking if you actually incurred the additional expense, or even if you showed up for the flight...
