Advice on cancelled connecting flight BCN-LHR-KEF
My parents flew on the delayed Iberia-operated BA483 BCN-LHR last night 18/6 with an overnight connection to KEF on the BA800 today (19/6).
Shortly before boarding in BCN they received a cancellation notice for BA800.
BA has rebooked them on the BA800 on 21/6 but told they would only cover the cost of 1 night in a hotel... strange as their new flight is in 2 days.
I am assuming they are eligible for EC261/2004 compensation as well as being able to claim reasonable expenses (meals, hotel etc) - is that correct?
