You can take an airline to Court.

An airline may tell you that you can't take them to Court to claim under EU regulation 261/2004, but it is wrong.

31 January 2013, the European Court of Justice [Case C-12/11 McDonagh v Ryanair] ruled:
1. Events that constitute "extraordinary circumstances" do not release air carriers from their obligations to provide the right of care.
2. An air passenger is justified in claiming a right of compensation when an air carrier fails to fulfil its obligations.
3. An air passenger may invoke before a National Court the failure of an air carrier to comply with its obligation laid down in regulation 261/2004.
