Trip this week has gone off the rails. 2hr YYZ connection has now changed to 99hrs 15min.

Original booking CPH-ZRH-YYZ-SEA outbound Jan16, return in April.

Disruption 1: AC delayed ZRH-YYZ by 2.5hrs due to equipment issue prior to the yyz-zrh inbound leg.
​​​​​​Rebooking 1: Forced 14hr YYZ overnight and extra connection in YVR (yyz-yvr-sea)

Disruption 2: yyz-yvr cancelled due potential weather/lower arrival rate.
Rebooking 2: Y downgrade, still next day on UA/AS yyz-den-sea. Rejected this in favor of next J cabin: 2 days later yyz-yvr-sea with paid hotel
​​​​​​
Disruption 3: Today AC107 yyz-yvr took on a 7hr equipment maintenance delay. (in reality, our assigned fin arrived from DEL on time, and AC decided to use it for YYZ-MCO).

update:
Disruption 4: AC107 cancelled, rebooked in Y on AC2107 (77L 40J vs 787-8 20J).
​​​​​​
Continuing the outbound is a trip in vain at this point. Yet, with the financial and time losses we don't want $0 or $400. We want to stay eligible for $1000appr or 600EUR.

​​​​​​What amount is due under APPR/EU261, under these scenarios:
1) abandon yyz-sea, and AC lets us pickup our return sea-cpu in April

2) postpone yyz-sea to the day before our April sea-yyz outbound.

3) substitute yyz-las or yyz-yvr-las as our final outbound due to and still fly the sea-cph return. AC has me booked this way currently.
