Norwegian IRROPS and EC261 compensation
Ok, gurus, I really need you help.
At approx 4pm Boston time, Norwegian cancelled our BOS-FCO flight scheduled for 11pm tomorrow (4 people) due to technical problems.
There are no Norwegian flights to Rome available for 3 days.
There is a Norwegian flight from EWR to FCO available tomorrow, departing at 11:30pm, which arrives in FCo at about the same time as our original Boston flight.
Connecting flights on UA from BOS-EWR are $299 each.
I am tempted to take this EWR-FCO and pay $299 each BOS-EWR, but not if we will be foregoing our rights to EUR600 cancelled flight compensation BOS-FCO.
So, if we do rebook EWR - FCO, and pay our own way to EWR, will we still be entitled to EUR 600 EU cancelled flight compensation?
