Seize this entitlement: the American Airlines flight Copenhagen → London (980 km) entitles you to 250€ compensation under EU regulation.

Why are you entitled to 250 €?

The European Regulation EC 261/2004 is very strict regarding air passenger rights. The amount of fixed compensation does not depend on the price of your ticket, but only on the flight distance.

Good to know? Even if American Airlines is a airline based outside the EU, if the flight takes off from Copenhagen Kastrup Airport, CE 261 applies in full.

How to know if the flight American Airlines Copenhagen - London is eligible?

Three criteria are required to establish your right to 250€: {delay exceeds 3h at London|flight cancelled less than 14 days before|boarding denied} — and {the cause is attributable to|American Airlines is responsible for|the fault lies with} American Airlines.

In the case of a flight suppression, if you were informed fewer than two weeks before your departure from Copenhagen, the CE 261 applies equally.
