The EF fiasco, together with my hopes for a much-deserved leisure flight after ~300 shockingly uninspiring business-related segments this year have sonorously faded away meaning that, while possibly better than some of the above-speculated scenarios (and, namely, romantic stopover in Dόsseldorf), I'm back to plainly tedious business, sitting in the LO lounge in WAW and awaiting a ~2-hour delayed LH flight to FRA, already conscious that the hopes of making it in time for my next flight are next-to-nil

Latest news I have is that Alitalia confirmed me; after I told them I was recording the call also; that eBookers/Expedia was hacked. I have asked eBookers/Expedia for an explanation if my personal data is in the open now......
I think if Alitalia is making such accusions if they are not true the OTA's should give a big middle finger back.
No problem if an airline admits a mistake and cancels in a NORMAL way. But if THEY fight; I can do that too.

Again, does ANYBODY receive a written feedback from AlItalia with a reasoning for the cancellation? I am in contact with them via email but they always refer to the call centre. I have asked again to stay on paper.

No you can't.... nobody in their right mind is going to court over such an insignificant amount knowing their chances are slim at best. You can shout and send a few e-mails and that's about it.

AZ is playing a psychological game.
AZ doesn't want to, or cannot legally, cancel those tickets; they try to sow uncertainty into passengers so that they will request refund. They also make refund of re-routed itineraries difficult so that passengers will seek refund even for untouched itineraries.@:-) Pretty smart gaming yet I am not sure it will end up in AZ's favor.

I don't think "you can't" is a valid answer. People can do whatever they want but what they are going to get out of that is another story.

I ain't fighting this one out but I do believe that given some of the lies that have been told by AZ to certain members and the lack of information some might stand a chance. Who knows what they will get from it or if they will even succeed.
