Why not?


Airlines have stranded me on numerous occasions and I was often out of the expenses for months. So I'd linearly extrapolate that it could have happened for my wedding as well. It did not but it did happen for my wife's best friend at the same location. It took nearly half a year to get reimbursed for the hotels and the missed connections.

But I agree with you - within Europe, with the protection of EC261, this should not happen. And I think that it would not have happened, had the pax be less activist.
