Of course it's BS.

Compensation claims against SWISS are awkward at the best of times, so probably not the way forward in this case: though it might be helpful to others if you make BAZL, the Swiss ciivil aviation authority, and enforcer of EU regulations, aware LX's bizarre approach to its obligations ([email protected])

If I were you, i'd talk the matter over with your credit card people and see what they can do.
