A missed connection may occur when you book a trip with at least one stop-over. It may be that the first flight has a slight delay, which means that you cannot arrive in time for the second flight. Regulation (EC) No. 261/2004 provides for compensation under certain conditions.

How much am I entitled to?
If your flight is delayed, you can claim up to €600 compensation per person.
The amount of compensation varies depending on the distance of the journey.
You are entitled to a compensation of:
- €250 for all flights whose distance is less than 1,500 km
- €400 for all intra-community flights over 1,500 km
- €400 for all non intra-Community flights whose distance is between 1,500 km and 3,500 km
- €600 for all flights over 3,500 km.
What are the conditions for receiving compensation?
- It must be a single reservation (both flights must be operated by the same airline).
- You arrive at your final destination more than 3 hours late.
- The airline is liable for the missed connection (in case of force majeure, the airline is not liable).
What is the time period for filing a complaint?
The time limit varies from country to country. For example, in France, the time limit for taking action is 5 years. In Belgium, on the other hand, the time limit for taking action is only 1 year.
