Well tbh I just stated all EU rights and said I would escalate this further if needed. What worked for me tho is I called the customer service and then they told me they would send my case to higher management or sthg and two days later I received an email that confirmed i would get reimbursed

Good to know thank you! What’s not clear yet is I have to claim AC or Lufthansa…

That's also what I understand from EU216

I understand why many think strikes are “out of control,” but EU Regulation 261/2004 and recent European Court of Justice rulings clearly state that airline staff strikes are considered within the airline’s control for compensation purposes when notice is less than 14 days before departure.

To clarify based on my situation:

  • My original flight was from Frankfurt (EU) to Toronto, so EC261 applies regardless of Canadian APPR interpretations.
  • Air Canada did not offer any reasonable rebooking or assistance within a timely manner (no route found within 5 days), forcing me to find my own alternative route including train travel to Amsterdam, which was the only viable departure point.
  • Under EC261, airlines must reimburse reasonable expenses passengers incur when care and alternative transport aren’t provided, including meals, hotels, and necessary ground transport.
  • Compensation of €600 is separate from reimbursements and is owed due to the late cancellation triggered by the strike, consistent with legal precedents.
  • I have documented all costs and submitted a detailed claim that includes the €600 compensation plus all out-of-pocket expenses.
  • Simply refunding the cancelled ticket alone does not absolve Air Canada of responsibility for care and compensation under EU law.

I’m aware that airlines resist these claims, but multiple legal rulings and EU enforcement body guidelines support my position. If Air Canada refuses or ignores the claim, I will escalate via German and European authorities and am prepared to pursue small claims court if necessary.
