@Angelamc11 – I hope you have now managed to get some proper food. I’m not sure if it was perhaps a throwaway comment re not expecting even BA to pay for the frozen lasagne, but BA isn’t required under 261 to pay for your hotel or food on your return journey. BA could elect to pay, perhaps because of status, but the statute only requires the airline to pay your ‘right to care’ costs for the directly affected journey which ended in Athens. The impact on your return journey which required you to overnight in London is a consequential loss.
