I found out on the night of May 2nd when I went to check in online that my flight for May 3rd had been cancelled and rerouted through another airline. I had no communication from SAS at all and if it weren't for me trying to checkin online I would have gone to the airport for my original flight. I also found out the strike had actually ended but my original flight was cancelled as a knock on effect. As a result I got to Tokyo about 8 hours later than planned and lost a day of my holiday.

I understand they don't want to pay compensation for delays due to the strike being "out of their control" but where do I stand with my delay being the day after the strike had ended (but still related to the strike)? Are they taking the same stance on those flights? I'll probably request it regardless as I disagree that it was out of their control.
