I am not a lawyer but I do have significant (and expensive) experience in
international contract law and the above is completely wrong.

The correct answer is 'it is complicated'.

The only firm conclusion that can be made is that the non-recoverable costs
of bringing a case will almost certainly be many times the cost of a non
refundable economy ticket which is the maximum you are likely to recover.

So unless you have decided to take up international litigation as a hobby,
the issue is likely moot.
