I think the point ExXB was making is that it’s the customer that picks up the bill in these circumstances. Having to make alternative travel arrangements with different carrier to different airport to arrive later than planned, with the additional costs not covered by EU261 in these circumstances. In my case easyJet offer a refund of the cancelled flight or the option of taking the next available flight (dec 26...). So it’s down to me to cover the £120 delta for the fare to Exeter, plus the bus to Bristol and I fully expect I’ll be expected to pay an extra £28 to cover the extra day in the long stay car park. Someone is responsible for Bristol airports closure for 11 hours yesterday, but it’s not the customer.
