I was scheduled to fly RDU-CLT-FRA on AA, but the RDU-CLT flight was delayed 9 hours because of maintenance.
I was rebooked to fly RDU-LHR-FRA (AA + BA flights) and arrived just over four hours late.
I know that I'm not entitled to EU 261 delay compensation since the flight originated outside the EU and AA is not "an airline based in an EU member state."
But what about compensation for other costs such as needing to purchase a new train ticket from FRA to my destination? Would AA be on the hook for reimbursing that?
