Flight cancellation - entitlement to re-routing 22 September at 3:06PM in Flight Delay Compensation

atmorris63

Dear all, 
Just a few questions around re-routing, an EU261 option, following a flight cancellation:

1) Do I buy the new ticket myself and claim it back from the airline as an expense? (ie I buy a BA ticket but claim it back from EZY, who cancelled my flight) OR should it be EZY buying my BA ticket for me?

2) Does anyone have any experience of obtaining alternative flights with other airlines following an EZY cancellation and have any advice?

Thanks for your help in advance, 

Happy flying, AM
