Yah that was the scenario I figured that the current court ruling hasn't addressed, so time to start looking for a lawyer to discuss seeking relief and sitting a precedent.
The positives will be that FinnAir marketed the entire flight and so at least can determine if that plays any factor out of the nature of the through ticket from the EU will play a factor in anyway. Thanks
