Op: you have fallen to the jakarta staff trap, they wanted to dismiss you, get you out of there, and let other people deal with it. It should have been dealt with in jakarta.

As others said, the sin station then got upset, as she may not have been able to do anything more to help you, even she want to, as you are already in transit!

Situations like these will happen if you travel a lot, so be prepared, and know your rights.

Just too bad that your flight does not transit in euro zone, you would have been more protected.

Ft is good as we get feedback on what you or anyone should have done in the future.

Maybe someone can write a quick faq about these situations and potential irrops?
