As explained by irishguy28, the operating carrier is responsible under Reg 261/2004 for additional accommodation and meals necessitated as a consequence of a rescheduling entailing additional nights at destination (or en route). Lost prepaid accommodation, excursion or car rental costs as a consequence of having to cut short a stay are not covered by the Reg.
