So it's defacto free EU261 coverage/MAD arrivals lounge - but must have no checked luggage.
eg VGO https://www.google.com/travel/flight...Yc4NCp5fbvo199

VGO would actually be really nice in summer...

Sorry for going OT, happy travels!
This is a topic best suited for the 261 thread. The flight in question there is an AA marketed and operated. I'm not aware of any case law regarding UK purchased flight non-EU to EU marketed and operated by a non UK/EU carrier. It would definitely be an uphill battle.
