Snippet:
Due to the Middle-East conflict, Emirates cancelled our Sydney-Dubai-Amsterdam, flight to a Viking river cruise from Amsterdam, with the cost of alternative flights exorbitant. Emirates provided a full refund of airfare, lounge pass, and points without fuss while Viking provided a 12-month full credit. Legally, both could have declined as the cruise wasn’t cancelled.
