Thanks--looked it up, do not think I fall into the terms of compensation --

"If a flight is cancelled, passengers are automatically entitled to"....."The airline is also required to pay cash compensation as described below, unless one of the following conditions applies"-- the cancellation was caused by extraordinary circumstances that could not have been avoided by any reasonable measure

I will now still go back for more --- anyone have any experience with this? any suggestions?-- what do you think i am entitled to ? ( one way was  50k , I got 25k and a 24 hour delay

LX.
Credit card statements were enough.

 for me .  With home owners on lost luggage c.c. statements were ok  and once they see a life style they are more lenient ----- just that --I pack in my bag things that were bought a long time ago and could never find on c.c. if airline required proof
