'Had a situation on Thai last year when there was a 20 hour tech delay going to Sydney. I got myself checked on the next days flight as I would have to wait in Bangkok for the connection anyway so acheiving nothing. EU regs state quite catagorically a €600 compensation is due to me. Months of fighting Thai and they just stick two fingers up at the regs. Reported them to the EU and they thanked me for letting them know! It's a useless piece of legislation.
