Tickets connecting from Non-EU to Non-EU destinations on a EU airline are not covered under EC261 (Big deal for people doing a logical routing like JFK-AMS/CDG-DEL) .
Delta allows a single ticket routing from South America to North America, via Amsterdam!
Such tickets used to be covered by EC 261/2004 for most of its implemented history. Then some court decided to change that long standing practice. Talk about doing a favor for the airlines.
