Perhaps someone can help as I sit in the world's smallest lounge (VVI) typing this. We booked with aerolineas Argentinas via lastminute.com a flight from VVI (Bolivia) to MDZ via EZE. the flight was booked and we received our confirmation on Sunday just gone.

Arriving at VVI airport tonight (Thurs) we were told that our flight from EZE to MDZ at 07:20 tomorrow morning has been cancelled and we now need to fly from AEP at 15:25 so a 2 hour layover in one airport has changed to a 10 hour layover and a change of airports. There are 2 other earlier flights but apparently they are both full.

2 questions. 1 can they do this (I worry yes) and 2 any idea what compensation we may be entitled to - I know Europe and US are relatively generous if more than 4 hours delay or IDB.

We didn't even receive an email notifying us of this.
