I tried to pressure DL to rebook me on LH or BA out of SEA but after talking to several supervisors it got me nowhere. Accepted SEA-YVR-AMS-XXX, which sucked because KL long haul sucks in J. If your flight is booked under AF number you maybe eligible for more with EU 261. I do not think DL-coded flights departing from USA to Europe are eligible for EU 261, only departing from Europe are eligible.
