When a SK flight went MX at HKG (so a few years back), the first alternative they rebooked us into was AY. I declined that because I needed the extra bag allowance with *A.

Back then SK had no agreement with TK/SQ/TG.

In 2022 they were on strike and the only options were Egypt Air or LOT ex-YYZ.

they are gonna pay out the EU261 compensation...this cancelation was 28 hours in advance of the flight....no weather to speak of....etc.....
SK usually pays out - it takes time. UA is the best in paying out EU261. I got the $ in my bank account within 48h after I filed the claim.
