Missed connection compensation
Missed a connection because the first flight was late? Check whether final arrival delay creates a claim. Flight disruption pages are built for people who know something went wrong but are not sure whether UK261, EU261, a cancellation rule or a baggage rule applies.

When this can qualify
One-ticket connections are usually strongest. The key test is the delay at the final destination, not only the delay on the first leg.
Evidence to gather
Keep both flight numbers, the single booking reference, rebooking details and the final arrival time.
Common mistake
Separate self-transfer bookings are harder. They can still leave other claims, including baggage or care expenses.
How MeClaims handles it
- Checks the route, rule, contract or complaint path that applies.
- Turns scattered evidence into a structured claim record.
- Tracks next steps so the claim can move from intake to review and escalation.
