Still, it's funny that I pay more for a flight to pick the airline that I want and, if something wrong happens, they can force me to fly a different airline or walk away without any compensation. Doesn't feel right either...
That you do not want to fly on Alitalia is your choice - however that flight , it seems, would have got you to your destination with minimal delay
Compensation is due is the airlline cannot get you to your destination within the specified timeframes - that you refused an option that would get you there close to schedule would make you ineligible for the compensation
It was your choice to take a service that would get you there 6 hours behin schedule rather than around 1.5 - it sounds to me that the airline acted very well in finding a replacement service
