Your compensation amount doesn't depend on the ticket price. Only the distance of 1 626 km dictates the indemnity under EU law.

Why are you entitled to 400 €?

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.
