Unfortunately, they only have one daily flight until the summer schedule kicks in. Since it’s non-EU to non-EU, I don’t think I’m eligible for EU 261. But, I had to spend the night in Amsterdam. Do you think they’d reimburse me for expenses incurred due to the forced overnight?
Are you currently on the delayed KL836 or was it the one on 17 March? If it is today's flight, although you will miss the nonstop KL601, KLM should still easily be able to get you to LAX through an alternative combination of flights. I would proactively search for a solution. They may offer you a connection through MSP/DTW/ATL but I would look for an AMS CDG LAX option, so your first entry into the US is immediately your final destination.
