Star Alliance - How to force the airline to pay for the non-operating flight?

See topic Ploblem with LOTPolish Airlines (http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/showthread.php?p=4911206) .

LOT doesn't want to refand more then $75 for $831 ticket, saying that they issued the paper ticket (they have no etix equipment), they need to pay commission their rep, etc. even that I'm a subject of cancellation fee. :mad:

It looks like an airline can sell ticket, cancel flight, and make huge profit.

You have already received the answer to your question in the other thread: write to LOT demanding full reimbursement under Regulation 261/2004 EC. If no success, you may want to contact the Polish enforcement authority and/or the EU Commission or start legal action.
