Compensation denied because airlines are blaming each other

Your claim of denied boarding does not seem to be valid under EC 261 Regulation because here is the issue is the unconfirmed ticket, there is no such rule governing unconfirmed ticket. In my opinion, you should take the goodwill amount of 200€ from Brussels Airlines, this is the best available option for you.

You biggest hurdle to compensation will be the weather, for which you are likely not entitled to any compensation. 🙁

As for ‘confirmed’, it’s not really a thing. What they were probably trying to express is that your booking/ticket on Etihad was still valid, even though your flight to Brussels was cancelled.

Meaning, when you got to AUH, EY did see your valid ticket and maybe even listed on the flight, but without a boarding pass or seat assignment, you were not really on the flight. Always know exactly what your status is on following flights and get a seat as soon as possible. EY in BRU probably could have done this.
