So OS can't even book you onto the flight if they even wanted to (which they can under irreg rules). OS is still codesharing ET726 from VIE to ADD.

Any data points would be appreciated, how the process is like, how long it takes them to wire the payment etc. I guess I have to email them though the feedback page on the OS website?
The other claim I will be making is the EUR 250 compensation as I am leaving 9+ hours earlier and arriving 12 hours later than originally scheduled. I guess I should be ready for resistance with bogus excuses not to pay. *sigh*
So, the next act in this soap opera. I sent my request for reimbursement of hotel/meals for the night in FRA and EC261 compensation to OS, got the reply today:Thank you for contacting Austrian Airlines. We regret the inconvenience on your trip.
Due to existing international guidelines, Ethiopean Airlines is responsible for your request.
Your letter was forwarded to the airline concerned. This will contact you directly after reviewing the facts.
We thank you for your patience and wish you a nice day.
This is obviously a delay tactic and passing on the hot potato to ET which shouldn't have anything to do with this. It is a simple matter of OS selling me a ticket they shouldn't have and the consequences that came out of it. What do you advise, that I play the game and wait, or reply firmly calling them out on their BS and saying that the flight operated that day and the GDS is showing that OS shouldn't have sold me the ticket in the first place? I feel that would save all parties concerned a lot of time and energy.
Thanks in advance...!
