I’m dealing with a pretty frustrating situation with an European Airline and could use advice. To summarize in bullet points:

  • Flight: JFK to Athens, Greece on April 24, 2025
  • Situation: Delayed ~24h -> then fully cancelled
  • No proper rerouting offered

Okay, super frustrating, at least under EU261 I’m entitled to €600 compensation.. So:

  • I filed a claim to that effect with the airline -> but they completely ignored my emails
  • After multiple attempts I escalated to the Hellenic Civil Aviation Authority (because the flight went to Greece)
  • They contacted the airline in Oct 2025 (I'm cc'ed)
  • Airline was supposed to respond by Dec 3, 2025 the latest

But since then, and despite multiple follow up emails:

  • No response from the airline at all
  • And no update from HCAA either

So at this point I am wondering how to proceed:

  • Is my only option legal action (EU small claims)?
  • Has anyone successfully forced payment in a case like this?
  • Any other escalation paths I’m missing?

Would appreciate any advice or similar experiences.
