It should be a wise decision. After all, AC has canceled so many flights. And according to a friend who works at the airport, how much money all these airlines such BA and LH had spent to accomodate all the stranded pax at YVR.

Just my experience: US SEN line denied the possibility of re-routing...

I know - there was a conference call a few hours ago but nothing changed since then.

Is this perhaps a chance for one to make some money under EU 261/2004?

One could a few bookings for next week and then volunteer to give up his seat. With the backlog, there will be ample demand for the seats...

Nope! The latest:

Please read the latest updates on the flight status here on this page.

Like all other airlines, Lufthansa must comply with directives issued by ministries and air traffic control. Many European airports have closed. In Germany, the airports in Berlin, Bremen, Cologne, Dortmund, Dresden, Dusseldorf, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Hanover, Hof, Leipzig, Munich, Muenster/Osnabrueck, Nuremberg and Stuttgart have shut down. All arrivals at and departures from these airports have been cancelled until further notice.
