And you're forgetting option 4 which is take a refund and make alternative arrangements.
Thanks for this!
But if the flight is on the same day, I wouldn’t incur an extra night technically so EC261 would cover the hotel? Let me read further into that.
I do want to make this trip happen as need to sort some personal matters out in IST. So I need a way to get back and guessing it’s easier to go with BA then book another ticket separately which will probably cost more as well.
