This happened to me on a flight originating outside the EU, so the EU Denied Boarding Regulations do not apply. The airline has twice refused to pay any compensation. I have been unable to find anything stating that I am entitled to compensation, so assume I will end up footing the hotel bill, etc., myself.
Isn't this a given in such situations? I can't believe one would have to ask for this when it is their fault.
