Understanding Air Passenger Rights
EU Regulation 261/2004 protects travellers when their flight is delayed, cancelled, or overbooked. You may be covered under this regulation if:
- Your flight departed from an EU airport or was operated by an EU airline and landed within the EU.
- The missed connecting flight was not due to extraordinary circumstances such as extreme weather.
If eligible, you could receive between €250 and €600 in flight compensation for the inconvenience.
Note that the rules for a missed connecting flight are slightly different. Here’s when you can claim compensation for a missed connection:
- Your initial flight was delayed, causing you to miss your connecting flight.
- You reached your final destination more than 3 hours late due to missed connection.
- Your initial flight got cancelled, resulting in a missed connecting flight.
- You were denied boarding which caused a missed connecting flight.

Yes, if your first flight was delayed and caused you to miss a connecting flight, and you arrived 3+ hours late, you are eligible to claim flight compensation.
If your flights departed from or arrived in the EU, were operated by an EU airline, and were delayed for 3+ hours or cancelled without 14 days’ notice, you may be entitled to compensation for a missed connecting flight.
If you want to claim compensation without the hassle of communicating with the airline, fill out a quick form and we’ll get your compensation for a missed connecting flight for you.
If the airline proves that circumstances beyond their control, like severe weather, political unrest, airport strikes, or other situations caused your missed connection, you may not be entitled to compensation. However, technical issues or staff shortages do not count as extraordinary circumstances, so you should still be reimbursed if you missed your connecting flight.
Sometimes airlines may try to falsely hide behind extraordinary circumstances and you won’t be able to claim compensation if you don’t understand the legal rules. For this reason, if you missed your connecting flight and think you are entitled to compensation, it’s better to let us handle it.
The deadline depends on your country, but under EU 261/2004 Regulation, you typically have around 3 years to claim compensation for a missed connection flight.
If you missed your connecting flight a couple years ago and you want to claim compensation now, the airline could be even less co-operative. Let us fight for your missed connection risk-free.
If the airline wrongfully denies your claim for missed connection, fill out the form and our legal experts will fight for your missed connecting flight compensation at no upfront cost.
