E-cert for $800? Wow, they offered my wife and I e-certs for $300 each when we got stuck in Athens two years ago, no status though which may be the difference? Had to stay overnight and catch another flight the next morning. We were also able to get the $600 EU 261 compensation plus the per diem rate for the hotel stay which was half of what we actually spent...yes we stayed at the airport hotel. I expected there would be a maximum.
