Missed Connection Compensation

Get compensated when airline delays cause you to miss your connecting flight

If the missed connection is the airline's fault, passengers may be entitled to financial compensation, which varies depending on flight distance and arrival delay.

Compensation Amounts

When you miss a connection due to the airline's fault, you may be entitled to compensation based on your total flight distance:

Short flights (up to 1,500 km)

€250

Medium flights (1,500–3,500 km)

€400

Long flights (over 3,500 km)

€600

The compensation may be reduced if the airline provides rerouting and you reach your final destination within a reasonable timeframe.

When Are You Entitled to Compensation?

You may be eligible for compensation if:

Your first flight was delayed, causing you to miss your connection

Both flights were booked as a single reservation with the same airline or partner airlines

The delay was within the airline's control (not due to extraordinary circumstances)

You arrived at your final destination more than 3 hours late

Your Additional Rights

Beyond compensation, you're entitled to:

Rebooking

On the next available flight at no extra cost

Meals and refreshments
