Discussion on answer by Tor-Einar Jarnbjo: Overstayed Schengen visa by 1 day because of delayed flight, consequences?

@Tor-EinarJarnbjo While non-binding, the European Commission's guide book on visa code does cite flight schedule change as an example of force majeure. In practice, I know both Swiss and Italian authorities giving concessions in such cases. Of course, it's possible that Germany takes a rather extreme interpretation of the European and its own laws.
