Thanks @ChrisC, @JDB. It’s really just an in-principle question for now – deliberately not naming names just yet 😉 But it’s a UK airline. They have offered a re-route, just not a very good one, and there are better options available (but not offered), more in keeping with the guidelines. I haven’t accepted it yet, but (ironically) if delay compensation were applicable, I might be more inclined to do so rather than push hard for the next available flight / re-route at earliest opportunity.
