Most carriers have less onerous provisions but prohibit "impossible" bookings.
EC 261/2004 would hardly provide anything to a passenger who fails to follow the rules to which he agrees by purchasing tickets.
I did not quote any contract terms, but their FAQ. In fact I don't see anything along the lines of the airline reserving the right to cancel a revenue ticket in case of a passenger booking on the same route anywhere in their
Conditions of Carriage. Open to be wrong though, could you provide a reference to where Conditions void ticketed bookings made prior or after purchasing a new ticket? I can't really see why any court won't agree that airline is in breach of their Conditions, since their FAQ seem to refer to a standard practice rather than any term in a contract.
