Look, I am sorry this happened, but you should get the total 2700 EUR back + compensation.
"though also American Airlines, and I won't get a refund on that" <-- you should double check this, if one of the airports is in the EU you get everything back for your departure flight.
https://realworldmachine.com/travel/airline/eu-flight-compen... "Flights must either arrive into the EU via an EU-headquartered airline or originate from the EU (regardless of airline headquarters) for the EU Flight Compensation Regulation to be applicable."
Obviously they will tell you otherwise.
Funny how people call me privileged etc. but you literally fill out a web form with flight number, upload your tickets and the solicitors handle the rest and the money gets dropped into your account within 6 months or so.
It's a lot of money, of course the Airlines are going to try to wiggle themselves out of it, so you have to fight them to get your right.
I think you will get 2700 EUR back for sure, flight compensation as well and you might even be able to claim for the BnB.

You should get your full ticket back + the EU compensation - 1/3.
No worries, I did this a few years back and the process took a while but I got the money.
Also, the EU compensation is rather handsome, especially on a long flight like that, you mention 1800 EUR, how much was the ticket originally?

Hello,
I used to write software for insurance companies, now I convert London Taxis to be all-electric: https://clipper.cab
We raised some pre-seed friends & family money and were supported by innovateUK in a critical part of the project.
The "new" electric London taxis are hybrid only! The exhaust isn't visible, so many people think they are electric which I think is terrible.
Our solution recycles existing vehicles and is truly all-electric.
